Answer:
After the 14th amendment, African people were granted with the right to obtain equal protection under the law and the right to vote during the election.
But, most of the states still made active efforts to limit the representation that African Americans have within the government.
For example, most southerns states require its people to pass literacy test before they can vote. These tests disqualified majority of African Americans to vote since most of them did not receive proper education during their slavery.
We will anaylze this scenario with the help of operant conditioning, which is a type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or diminished if followed by a punisher. Reinforcer is any event that strengthens the behavior it follows.
Skinner states that "Beahvior is determined and controlled by the stimuli that are present in a given situation"
According to Skinner, when you take an aspirin for your headache, taking the aspirin is a negative reinforcer whereas the headache is an operant.
