<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.

The correct answer is B) The power to ratify changes to the Constitution.
The federal government is given the ability to tax citizens multiple times. This includes Article 1 Section 8 of the US Constitution and the 16th amendment (which establishes the federal income tax).
The power to regulate interstate commerce is also in Article 1 Section 8 of the US Constitution. This was further reinforced by the Supreme Court case Gibbons vs. Ogden.
The US Constitution also explicitly gives the right to sign treaties to the federal government.
This is why B can be the only correct answer.
