what is in the voting right bill ?? prez Bush just renew it and why democtratic country like USA needs it?

Answer 1

In the early sixties, everyone could officially vote, but some places in the South made it especially hard for blacks to vote. The poll workers made them take tests, provide more identification than white people, etc. The Voting Rights Act forced them to make it fair for everyone.

Since there is still prejudice in the USA--especially against people who come from the wrong country--I think we still need it.

Answer 2

The Voting Rights Act is the landmark legislation that paved the way for blacks to vote anywhere in the United States. This law specifically outlaws practices that were in place by several states designed to disenfranchize black voters.

The reason the United States needs such a law is because there are communities where those in political power and that have most of the wealth would like to discriminate against minorities.

One aspect of the voting rights act that was in the headlines recently was the fact that this bill requires the states to provide ballots in not only English, but in other languages depending upon the demographics of the community.

Now many people oppose this type of law, and they claim that it's because they think everyone should speak English.

But the history of the United States demonstrates that people in power will do unethical and immoral things to keep certain groups of people out of the voting process.

Answer 3

a bill is an open ended law. something that is meant to be able to adapt with change. for example in 100 years we might be flying in ships instead of driving..... then we wouldnt need highways bill.
the voting bill is left open....as before we might have human clones..... at that point their rights as a citizen will be an issue.
