Answer:
- Poll taxes in elections
- Voting Rights Act of 1965
Explanation:
Not long ago, citizens in some states had to pay a fee to vote in a national election. This fee was called a poll tax. On January 23, 1964, the United States ratified the 24th Amendment to the Constitution, prohibiting any poll tax in elections for federal officials.
On August 4, 1965, the United States Senate passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The long-delayed issue of voting rights had come to the forefront because of a voter registration drive launched by civil rights activists in Selma, Alabama.
What did the Voting Rights Act of 1965 accomplish?
This act was signed into law on August 6, 1965, by President Lyndon Johnson. It outlawed the discriminatory voting practices adopted in many southern states after the Civil War, including literacy tests as a prerequisite to voting.
The feudal class structure was a hierarchical social system where the king was placed at the top of the social order followed by the barons, the bishops or clergy, the knights and the peasants at the bottom of the scale. This system was very strict since the king, who was the most powerful and wealthy man in the kingdom, granted his lands to his nobles. Besides, each landlord or noble had to provide the king with knights in return of loyalty and protection in case of war. If the barons broke their oaths, the lands which had been granted by the king could be withdrawn.
