Question

In which way is the Thirteenth Amendment (which outlawed slavery) and the Voting Rights Act related?

Answer 1

Pretty sure the answer is c.... Both secure the freedoms of liberty.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) Both secure the freedoms of liberty.

As mentioned the 13th amendment outlaws slavery. This ensures liberty, as African-American and women are now able to pursue wages for their work. The Voting Rights Act, on the other hand, helps to get rid of voting qualifications that limited African-American influence in American politics. This law made poll taxes, literacy tests, the grandfather clause, and other barriers to voting illegal. This ensures liberty, as African-American men and women now have the chance to more easily elect representatives who will fight for their interests.
