<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.

Why were artisans the first to organize trade unions and launch strikes
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Because artisans had a long history of labor organization that dates back to the Middle Ages

Explanation:

They did not really form labor unions in the modern sense of the world until the nineteenth century, when industrializaton started, however, they had formed guilds for centuries before that. Guilds were labor organizations mainly focused on job training, and labor supply control, the latter still being one of the most important functions of most labor unions today.

We can see day, that it was only natural to expect artisans to make the transition from guilds to labor unions, and then to launch strikes.

Do you think Kennedy has the upper hand? Why or why not?
Afina-wow [57]

During the cold war, there was a point of time of tensions of nuclear war, which is the Cuban missile crisis. Khrushchev tried to transfer nuclear weapons to Cuba. This caused Kennedy to try to negotiate because they knew the consequences of the two superpowers colliding would be very dangerous. Khrushchev wasn't willing to because the US had nuclear bombs in Turkey where they were in range to attack Russia so, Khrushchev only thought having weapons in Cuba was fair. So, both nations had weapons pointing against each other so, neither had the upper hand.

I hope this helps.
