How Did The Voting Rights Act Of 1965

The enactment of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act Amendments, marked a significant change towards socialism in the United States. The Voting Rights Act aimed to eliminate racial discrimination against minority groups such as African Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, and Latin Americans, who faced criticism from systemic barriers within political participation and voting rights. It focused on the extension of minority rights and giving them access to their rights, through the 14th amendment and the 15th amendments in the Constitution. Additionally, the Act increased voting registration and participation among African Americans, leading the influence for minority groups. My thesis is that
This Act movement supplemented the ability to allow African voters to persuade their freedom of speech and gave them a sense of recognition. President John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson helped franchise the legislation, which led to congress passing the 1965 Act, as well as the 1964 Civil Rights Act. In the article, The Critics: The Color Of Law, Lyndon B. Johnson wanted to seek a change in discrimination and resolve this matter. Lyndon Johnson was known to civil-rights leaders as the man who, when he was Senate Majority leader, had carefully emasculated Eisenhower’s Civil Rights Bill in order to secure enough southern Votes for passage”, However, “ the March of Washington(Norton) banned discrimination in Employment Opportunity Commission.”( Menand 2013) Accordingly, Johnson recognized the march did not address the issue of voting qualifications test that disenfranchised registration on the basis of race and ordered Nicholas Katzenbach, at the time his future attorney general, to draft the recognition for additional voting rights “ I want you to write me the goddamnest toughest voting rights act that you can devise.”(Menand 2013) In the book, Uneven Roads: An introduction to U.S. Racial and Ethnic Politics, chapter 7 gives an example of a data chart where between 1968 through 2016, the U.S. population has
Sections, were sectioned “5 states.” Any state or political jurisdiction that met the tests of section 4(a) had to seek agreement from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, (and later the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice) when it tried to administer new voting laws different from those in effect in November 1964, to ensure that the new law “will not have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color.”( Shaw et al. al 2015:221) Additionally, other racial groups, including non-Mexican and Asian Immigrant groups, argued that the ballots and electoral materials were only available in English, creating difficulties for them to participate in the electoral process. Correspondingly, the Immigration and Nationality Act was approved in 1965 and for the first time “non-English-speaking Mexican and Asian immigrants groups immigrated to the United States.”( Shaw et al. al 2015:222) The United States is not only a nation of Democrats. It was important but also home to people who obtained citizenship, freedom and liberty. The protection of the Voting Rights Act helps strengthen and support minority groups such as Asian, Native Americans and especially, Latin Americans. The Voting Rights Act has benefited many African Americans and for the first time in 1966, one thousand African-Americans
