'I plead the fifth' is a term used for citing the right to decline a question if their own answers might incriminate or enmesh themselves into a bad situation. This is generally used to be free of any penalties rather than taking the risks of answering a question you might not want to expose. Someone might say this statement if they do not want to reply to a question that will make them come off as bad or petty.

The 5th ammendment in the constitution gives every American the right to refuse to answer questions or testify against themselves if the answer may incriminate them. The 5th ammendment protects people from having to testify in court on their own behalf. However once a person agrees th testify on their behalf they have to answer the questions during cross examination.

What were key provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The right answer is  A) Literacy tests were banned and federal enforcement powers strengthened.

Explanation:

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 intended to eliminate barriers erected in southern states that impeded African-Americans from voting, a violation of the 15th Amendment. One common obstacle used to block black people was to make them pass literacy tests. This population had lived for centuries in opression, poverty and lack of education opportunities. That was a repugnant racist trick to make ineffective the rights of a good part of American society.
