Answer:

Voting Rights Act of 1965

Explanation:

The Voting Rights Act was adopted in 1965. It is fundamental in the history of federal legislation in the field of protection of the rights of citizens.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 (P.L. 89-110)) became one of the most significant acts of federal law, guaranteeing equal suffrage for US citizens regardless of race or color. Despite the fact that the previous Civil Rights Laws of 1957, 1960, and 1964 contained rules on the protection of electoral rights, they, in the words of Attorney General N. Katzenbach, had only a “minimal effect,” especially in comparison with the “direct and dramatic” effect of the Voting Rights Act. Indeed, in the first four years after its adoption, more than a million black voters were registered, including more than 50% of the black electorate in the southern states.

Answer:

1. President Theodore Roosevelt’s big stick policy was used by the United States to negotiate an agreement for an American-led canal through Panama, spread American influence in Cuba, and broker a peace treaty between Russia and Japan. Big Stick diplomacy is the policy which refers to a carefully mediated negotiation "speak softly, and carry a big stick." and Roosevelt won the Nobel Peace Prize for it in 1906.

2.

<em>The results of the Big stick policy, Dollar diplomacy, and Moral diplomacy in Latin America made people in Latin America were angry at U.S. actions.  </em>

<u>President Theodore Roosevelt named its foreign dominant policy, “Big stick policy”. He believed in this policy was the best to apply in Latin America and the Caribbean countries.

Compare and contrast auschwitz and manzanar??
tiny-mole [99]
Well that's easy. Auschwitz was a death camp, and Manzanar was an internment camp. The difference is that Auschwitz was used by the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazis) as a eugenics machine. Eugenics is the practice of removing certain genes from the gene pool, through sterilization, or murder to create a perfect human race (Aryan). While Manzanar was used to hold 11,000 Japanese Americans during world war two who were seen as public enemies. Both Concentration camps and Internment camps were racially motivated, and both were used for public enemies. Concentration camps were far more violent, and were also politically motivated, used to remove party enemies.
