Answer:
The democratic party became the party of civil rights because Lyndon B. Johnson, the president who signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act into law, was a democrat.
Explanation:
Southern Democrats opposed civil rights legislation, for example, southern democrat Strom Thurmond from South Carolina gave a 24 hour speech to try to fillibuster the bill in the Senate.
After the bill became law, most southern democrats switched to the Republican Party, as well as the electoral base. Partisanship was not as strong druing the 1960s, 1970s, or 1980s, but in recent decade it has become stronger, making the Southern United States a bastion of the Republican Party.

<h2>The Nineteenth Amendment and the Twenty-sixth Amendment</h2>
- The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote.
- The 26th Amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to 18.
Context/details:
19th Amendment
The 19th Amendment to the Constitution reads as follows:
- <em>The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.</em>
- <em>Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.</em>
The proposal to add such an amendment was first introduced in Congress in 1878, but Congress did not pass the amendment till 1919 -- after the experience of women taking on greater roles in the country during the First World War. The amendment achieved ratification by a sufficient number of states and was added to the Constitution by August, 1920.
26th Amendment
During the 1960s in America, protests against the Vietnam War were active on college campuses across the country. Part of those protests were the demands of young people chanting, "Old enough to fight, old enough to vote." Since 18 was old enough to be drafted to fight in the war, young people argued for their right to vote as full citizens.
The 26th Amendment was passed by Congress on March 23, 1971. It was ratified by the states faster than any other amendment, achieving ratification by July 1, 1971.
The 26th Amendment is worded as follows:
- <em>Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.</em>
- <em>Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.</em>

The indigenous people of Mexico face numerous problems, but lacking Spanish skills is not one of those problems. These people, descendants of the indigenous people of what is now Mexico, like the Maya and the Aztec people, have been facing big problems ever since the Europeans came to their land and conquered it.
They have been segregated, forced to marry Europeans, thus their blood lineages got mixed, so only little populations remained unaffected. Also, they are having problems with communication between one another, especially because they live in separate areas hundreds of km away. Large portion of them live in isolation, in the most remote parts of the country, mostly in the tropical jungle, where they rarely have contact with the other people in the country. When they do have contact, they face another problem, multiculturalism. The Mexicans want to incorporate them into the societies, and allowing them to preserve their culture and language, but the problem is that they will constantly be exposed to other culture, and that would gradually lead to decline and dying out of the indigenous cultures.
