Question

in 1965, Congress adopted the voting rights act. Describe this act. In your description, explain what led Congress to pass the act, and describe at least two of the act's effects

Answer 1

The act was about ensuring people have voting rights and preventing states from preventing voting rights in various ways such as having literacy tests or voting taxes or anything similar. One effect can be that it enabled for all people to vote regardless of color or origin, and another is that it enabled minorities and immigrants to vote too because it enabled minorities who didn't know English that well to vote using bilingual ballots.
