The Help America Vote Act of 2002 was passed to:
1.Create a new federal agency to serve as a clear house for election administration information.
2. Providing funds to states to improve election administration and replace outdated voting systems.
3. Creating minimum standards for states to follow in several key areas of election administration.
Four Provisions:
1. Replace all lever-operated and punch-card voting devices by 2006
2. Upgrade their administration of elections (Better Training)
3. Centralize and computerize their voter registration system to facilitate the ID of qualified voters on election day.
4. Provide for provisional voting, so a person for provisional voting, so a person whose eligibility to vote has been challenged can cast a ballot that will be counted if it is found that he/she is qualified to vote.
By opening more opportunity to business trades, more culture into the country, and causing a new opening to allowing Chinese currency at some businesses. Hope this helped!
Thanks!

Political freedom (also known as <span>political autonomy</span> or political agency) is a central concept in history and political thought and one of the most important features of democratic societies.Political freedom was described as freedom from oppression or coercion, the absence of disabling conditions for an individual and the fulfillment of enabling conditions, or the absence of life conditions of compulsion, e.g. economic compulsion, in a society. Although political freedom is often interpreted negatively as the freedom from unreasonable external constraints on action, it can also refer to the positive exercise of rights, capacities and possibilities for action, and the exercise of social or group rights. The concept can also include freedom from "internal" constraints on political action or speech (e.g. social conformity, consistency, or "inauthentic" behaviour). The concept of political freedom is closely connected with the concepts of civil liberties and human rights, which in democratic societies are usually afforded legal protection from the state.
The Scopes Trial was a court case that argued if public schools should teach mordern scientific evidence of evolution or traditional values.
