Answer:

The Voting Rights Act made barriers like poll taxes and literacy tests that targeted African Americans illegal.

Explanation:

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a federal law designed to ensure the equal participation of minorities, especially African Americans, in elections.

Specifically, it abolished discriminatory illiteracy tests for potential voters, banned Gerrymandering if it discriminated against minorities, centralized federal voter registration in areas where less than 50 percent of the population were registered voters, and gave the Department of Justice various control over that Electoral law in areas where African Americans make up more than five percent of the population.  

The law passed both houses of Congress with a large majority, and was signed by then President Lyndon B. Johnson on August 6, 1965.

The correct answer here would be Vladimir Lenin, leader of the Bolshevik Revolution that brought communism to power in Russia and established the Soviet Union.  Lenin's "New Economic Policy" serves as an example of central planning to bring everything under the central government's control.

Josef Stalin was the totalitarian leader that took over the communist leadership in the USSR after Lenin's death.
