Religious freedom. they were mostly europian
The Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, adopted in 1870, stipulates: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
Hope this helps:)
it helps citizens understand how they can influence the government. (in civics class right now ^^)
Nowadays that is quite easy if you have a computer with an internet connection and know how to use it. You need to go to the Senate or the House web page and examine the roll call vote tallies to find the exact record of votes every day.
You can also go to the Congressional record web page for vote tallies for the two chambers of Congress. However it is important to make a difference between the different types of votes since not all of these are recorded by name. Voice votes are only voted by the Congressperson saying “aye” or “no” to a particular proposition or bill. Division or standing votes are voted by raising a hand and then the presiding officers count the Members.
