How did literacy tests or poll taxes undermine the civil rights granted to African Americans by the 14th and 15th Amendments?

Answer:

Literacy tests.

After the American Civil War ended in victory for the Union, the 14th and 15th Amendments were ratified and provided for African Americans to be able to vote. The Southern States passed a series of laws aimed at ensuring that African Americans could not vote including the Literacy tests.

These tests required that people voting needed to prove how literate they were. African Americans were disadvantaged by this however because they had not been offered education as enslaved people and even then the State did not educate them so they failed the literacy tests and were unable to vote.

Poll Taxes.

These required a certain payment to be able to vote. African Americans had been denied economic opportunities and so could not pay the poll Taxes and so could not vote. Most poor whites were exempted from this by the Grandfather clause which meant that they did not have to pay if their grandfathers had voted even once, something African Americans could not claim as they had just been recognised as citizens and had previously been unable to vote.

Toward the end of the first year, infants use patterns of rising and falling _____ that resemble the sounds of adult speech.
Vikentia [17]

"Toward the end of the first year, infants use patterns of rising and falling intonation that resemble the sounds of adult speech."

<em>Intonation</em> is the way the pitch of the voice goes up and down as you speak.

Reproducing adult intonations is one of the ways young children pick up the speech patterns in the language which is spoken at home, even before they know how to formulate sentences. It is the result of the imprint of their parents' speech on their memory. Therefore, when the child then prattles using this intonation, it may sound like they are babbling in their parents' language.

Prompt
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Dairy, wheat and ores

Explanation:

As you may already know, many products that we consume within our country are imported from other countries, either because our country does not produce this product, or because national production is not sufficient to supply the entire region. This makes importation a very important sector, generating impacts on our economy and society as a whole.

There are many products that are imported from the Pacific Islands, Australia and / or New Zealand, all of which are important to our society, such as meat, fruits and others. However, the most important products we import from these countries are dairy products, wheat and ores, as these would be the most difficult products to live without.
