True or false poll taxes were outlawed with the voting rights act of 1965

History

Helga [31]3 years ago

Poll taxes and Literacy laws were two of the primary ways that some states kept minorities from voting. Poll taxes were set to a point that would not be difficult for White people to afford, but Very difficult for Minorities. White voters would be given something simple to read, and minorities would be given bits of Shakespeare. 
Many states removed them voluntarily as they saw the way the mood of the country was moving, and as State Legislatures became more enlightened. However, for those states that did not, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ended the practices everywhere for good.


<span>The Twenty Fourth Amendment, ratified in 1964, outlawed poll taxes. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was the law that outlawed literacy tests.</span>

Why was the Protestant Reformation a threat to the power that the Catholic church had over Europe?​
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The Protestant Reformation was a threat to the power that the Catholic Church had over Europe because the Catholic Church got all of their money from the members of the church. The Church sold indulgences to the people and told the people that if they did not buy indulgences, then they or their loved ones would not go to heaven. Protestants did not believe in the sell of indulgences, so this would cut the Catholic Church's money supply off big time.

How did the development of the Gutenberg printing press help spread the thoughts of the Reformation?
Lelechka [254]
The printing press was important to the spread of the Renaissance and Humanist thinking because it made it easier to print books and pamphlets. People then soon read more often and understood the ideas written in the book or pamphlet. At the time it was the priests who only knew how to read, so they would plant ideas into people's heads causing them to not have ideas of their ideas. Because of the printing press, people started to learn to think on their own.
