<em>D. It protected voting rights for all Americans by taking away qualifications.</em>

Explanation:

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was very important and ensured voting rights for African American citizens. Before the Voting Rights Act, it proved to be very difficult to vote if you were African American or a non-English citizen.

The Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965. The main problem appeared to be in the South, as many people still held prejudice towards African Americans. Many white Southerners did not want them to vote, as they were scared that they would vote for someone in power that would better the livelihoods of African Americans.

In order to keep African Americans from voting, white Southerners would enact literacy tests and poll taxes. During this time, it was hard for black citizens to obtain a proper education and many did not know how to read or write, so they would fail the literacy tests. Most of the time they did not have enough money for the poll taxes either.

Eventually, the Voting Rights Act was passed and it got rid of these qualifications that were needed, so it was easier for people to vote.
