What protections do voters receive under the constitution
PIT_PIT [208]
The Act, reaffirming the 15th Amendment, prohibits states from imposing any "voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure ... to deny or abridge the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color." This act is supposed to protect citizens from arbitrary rules and regulations that may deter them or attempt to deter them for no other reason then to deter them. Such as the new voter ID laws in several states across the country, these are currently under scrutiny for deterring voters. A key element in this act, specifically intended by Congress was to outlaw the practice of requiring otherwise qualified voters to pass literacy tests in order to register to vote. This was a method that had been previously used to deter poor African Americans from voting. The Act also established extensive federal oversight of elections administration, providing that states with a history of discriminatory voting practices (so-called "covered jurisdictions") could not implement any change affecting voting without first obtaining the approval of the Department of Justice, a process known as preclearance. This is an issue that Florida is currently dealing with. The 15th Amendment to the Constitution granted African American men the right to vote by declaring that 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 race, color, or previous condition of servitude." However, for years the South would use "devices", of any kind, to circumvent the law and were successful in deterring 50% of the Black vote.

What did homer plessy believe would protect his constitutional rights, even as a black American?
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

<h2>The 14th Amendment</h2>

Historical background/details:

After the Civil War, in 1868, the 14th Amendment was added to the Constitution.  It stipulated that no state in the United States shall "deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

In the decades after the Civil War, however, states in the South began to pass laws that sought to keep white and black society separate.  In the 1880s, a number of  state legislatures began to pass laws requiring railroads to provide separate cars for passengers who were black.  At the heart of the case that became <em>Plessy v. Ferguson</em> was an 1890 law passed in Louisiana in 1890 that required railroads to provide "separate railway carriages for the white and colored races.”

In 1892, Homer Plessy, who was 1/8 black, bought a first class train railroad ticket, took a seat in the whites only section, and then informed the conductor that he was part black.  He was removed from the train and jailed.  He argued for his civil rights before Judge John Howard Ferguson and was found guilty.  His case went all the way to the Supreme Court which at that time upheld the idea of "separate but equal" facilities.

Homer Plessy was correct in his convictions, though.  The 14th Amendment really did protect his consitutional rights.  It just took a while for the nation to come to terms with that reality.  Several decades after Homer Plessy's case, the 1896 <em>Plessy v. Ferguson </em>decision was overturned.  <em>Brown v. Board of Education</em>, decided by the US Supreme Court in 1954, extended civil liberties to all Americans in regard to access to education. The "separate but equal" principle of <em>Plessy v. Ferguson</em> had been applied to education as it had been to transportation. In Topeka, Kansas, Oliver Brown filed a lawsuit after the public school district refused to enroll his daughter in the school closest to their home, making her instead take a bus to a blacks-only school.  Other families joined the Brown family lawsuit.  When it went to the level of the Supreme Court, there were other cases from other parts of the country that the Supreme Court combined with it.  The full name of the case at the Supreme Court level was <em>Oliver Brown, et al. v. Board of Education of Topeka, et al.  </em>The arguments were heard before the Supreme Court in 1952 and 1953, and the <em>Brown v. Board of Education </em>decision was issued  in 1954.   The standard of "separate but equal" was challenged and defeated. Segregation was shown to create inequality, and the Supreme Court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

The 14th Amendment guarantees equal protection to all citizens. This was what the Supreme Court said was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.  Section 1 of the 14th Amendment reads as follows:

  • <em>All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.</em>
