What was the concept of voting rights based on?
aleksandrvk [35]
It's based on the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This prohibits the states and various political parties from putting voting qualifications or any other requirements in order to proceed with voting. Take note that this is all for the sake of the Civil Rights of the citizen so that everyone will be able to have a fair way to vote - regardless of status and color. 

Before this happened, take note that only a few African Americans had access to voting. There were even tests conducted to see if they are worthy for voting - indicating a bias in their colored race.

Which statement proves that the 1970s oil crisis had a positive effect on Texas?
Alex777 [14]

The right answer is A) Government loans gave the oil industry a second chance to boom

The first oil shock began in October 1973, when OPEC member Arab countries embargoed oil supplies to the United States, Japan, and Western Europe in retaliation for the occupation of Palestinian territories by the Israelis during the Yom Kippur War. The embargo forced some European countries and Japan to ration energy and led the world into recession. With the deficit in the supply of this commodity the American government intervened and fomented the economy so that it could survive the crisis that was instated and Texas petroleum became an improvised exit.
