History

The Constitution can be changed through both formal and informal processes. A formal change is called an amendment, or addition. To amend the Constitution, it has to be voted on by both houses of Congress by a two-thirds majority. So, be it formally or informally, the U.S. Constitution is made to be changed.

Formally:

There are a couple ways that the U.S. Constitution could be formally amended. First Congress could adopt a proposed amendment (2/3 majority vote in both House of Representatives and Senate) and then send that proposed amendment to the state legislatures to be adopted - 3/4 majority required.

Informally:

States or the federal government can propose a new amendment to the Constitution either through state conventions or a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and the Senate. To ratify an amendment to the Constitution, three-fourths of state legislatures or three-fourths of special state conventions must approve it.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!! :)

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

I think it is B

Explanation:

Southern states that seceded immediately after Lincoln's election in 1860 did so because they had already been planning it in the event of a Republican victory. Their motivation involved what they perceived as a threat to the institution of slavery, which their economy was dependent upon.

Which best describes the Voting Rights Act of 1965?
MaRussiya [10]

<em>D. It protected voting rights for all Americans by taking away qualifications.</em>

Explanation:

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was very important and ensured voting rights for African American citizens. Before the Voting Rights Act, it proved to be very difficult to vote if you were African American or a non-English citizen.

The Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965. The main problem appeared to be in the South, as many people still held prejudice towards African Americans. Many white Southerners did not want them to vote, as they were scared that they would vote for someone in power that would better the livelihoods of African Americans.

In order to keep African Americans from voting, white Southerners would enact literacy tests and poll taxes. During this time, it was hard for black citizens to obtain a proper education and many did not know how to read or write, so they would fail the literacy tests. Most of the time they did not have enough money for the poll taxes either.

Eventually, the Voting Rights Act was passed and it got rid of these qualifications that were needed, so it was easier for people to vote.
