The correct answre is: "the act was enacted to outlaw discriminatory voting practices against black citizens that functioned in many Southern States".
In the United States, after the enactment of the Reconstruction Amendments (after the Civil War), which guaranteed equality of rights for all US citizens, many Southern states tried to circumvent such provisions with the enactment of the so-called Jim Crow laws. These contained many regulations that prevented many black citizens from access to vote in practice, by setting requirements such as literacy test or a minimum income level.
All these practices were ended with the enactment of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 that <u>prohibits racial discrimination in voting and which derogated the whole Jim Crow legal system. </u>
