However, there were several other successor states to the Byzantine Empire such as the Despotate of Morea and the Empire of Trebizond that could be argued to be "Byzantine". Some didn't even fall until 1479. That being said, the Roman "Byzantine" Empire definitely fell in 1453.
Answer:
- Poll taxes in elections
- Voting Rights Act of 1965
Explanation:
Not long ago, citizens in some states had to pay a fee to vote in a national election. This fee was called a poll tax. On January 23, 1964, the United States ratified the 24th Amendment to the Constitution, prohibiting any poll tax in elections for federal officials.
On August 4, 1965, the United States Senate passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The long-delayed issue of voting rights had come to the forefront because of a voter registration drive launched by civil rights activists in Selma, Alabama.
What did the Voting Rights Act of 1965 accomplish?
This act was signed into law on August 6, 1965, by President Lyndon Johnson. It outlawed the discriminatory voting practices adopted in many southern states after the Civil War, including literacy tests as a prerequisite to voting.
