Restrict the ability of African Americans to obtain voting rights.
The black community experienced much poverty because of prejudice against  them in the economic system of the country, so poll taxes could keep them from going to the polls to vote.

Blacks also typically had less access to education than whites even after slavery was ended; thus their literacy rates were lower.  So literacy tests were also used to restrict blacks from voting.

Southern states also utilized "grandfather clauses," which were exemptions to things like poll taxes and literacy tests, granted to those whose forefathers ("grandfathers") had full voting rights prior to the Civil War.  So if there were poor or illiterate whites, they could vote freely while blacks (whose ancestors had been slaves) were subjected to the laws restricting their voting ability.  
These sorts of restrictions against black voters prompted much of the activism of the civil rights movement that began in the middle of the 20th century.

Why did some romans Believe that an empire would better serve rome’s needs than a republic?​
Maksim231197 [3]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the options for this question. However, we can say the following.

Some Romans believed that an empire would better serve Rome’s needs than a Republic because "The emperor could make decisions quickly without our having to convince others."

When the Roman Republic was established in 509 BCE, the system was based on democracy and the creation of rules to serve the people. The Senate was an important institution for the Roman Republic and the Roman law influenced other legislations until the modern-day era. However, the desire for control, power, and greed, changed things in Rome and the Emperor dropped the democratic system and created absolutists and centralized system in which only the Emperor was the one who imposed his will over the entire Empire.
