The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a law that is included in US legislation and clearly expanded democracy in the country while marking a milestone in civil rights.

1. Prohibit discriminatory practices in the right to vote by the African-American community living in the United States. This fact is very important since so far there were states that to vote required proof of literacy or the payment of some tax, using these resources to limit the right to vote of black people.
2. Give powers to the United States Congress to monitor the electoral administration of the states and to take action in situations in which discriminatory practices occur.
