<em></em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
The idea behind having a Constitution is that it limits the powers of the government and sets certain law and rules that are to be followed while governing. Hence when there were debates for the "ratification" of the Constitution, the Federalists concluded that the Constitution didn’t require any list of rights, as the Constitution itself limits the powers of the government. Moreover, Bill of Rights was unnecessary as the Constitution was drafted with a strong concept of "Separation of Powers", and the Check and Balance system. Under this the government has been divided into three categories and these three categories check and limit the powers of each other.
The Voting Rights Act<span>, signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson (1908-73) on August 6, </span>1965<span>, aimed to overcome legal barriers at the state and local levels that prevented </span>African Americans<span> from exercising their right to </span>vote<span> under the 15th Amendment (1870) to the Constitution of the United States.</span>
