Primary sources must be analyzed with critical thinking to obtain a very accurate historical record. The records that are created simultaneously with what happened in an event or as close as possible to it, are more reliable and more accurate than the records that are created long after, perhaps years, after the event occurred.

The act was about ensuring people have voting rights and preventing states from preventing voting rights in various ways such as having literacy tests or voting taxes or anything similar. One effect can be that it enabled for all people to vote regardless of color or origin, and another is that it enabled minorities and immigrants to vote too because it enabled minorities who didn't know English that well to vote using bilingual ballots.
