Question
Write a one-page, single-spaced paper that presents your thoughts on the two readings attatched. What did you find interesting about the readings? What did they make you think about? Do the articles have anything in common? Did you learn anything? The paper should have one-inch margins all around and be written in Times New Roman, size 12 font. Put your name, the course name (History 1302), and the date each on its own line in the upper-right corner, single-spaced (but not in a separate header). Center the title “History Assignment” above the first paragraph. Do not use endnotes or a bibliography.

History Assignment
Individuals fought for constitutional amendments and legislation expanding voting rights based on race and ethnicity, gender, disability, age, and other factors at all levels, making voting rights a bipartisan issue. Congress passed the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965, and significant efforts were made to avoid voter suppression (Zelizer 15). The Supreme Court overturned the Voting Rights Act in Shelby County v. Holder, allowing states and jurisdictions with a history of voter suppression to pass restrictive voter identification laws (Zelizer 15). As a result of these actions, people who are already underrepresented in politics suffer disproportionately negative and demonstrable consequences. Worse, governments at all levels have largely ignored the importance of elections in ensuring the system’s integrity and efficiency. Furthermore, in the United States, illegal border crossing has been a crime for over 90 years, and Presidents over the last 20 years have all increased deportations and prosecutions of illegal immigrants who enter or reenter the country. Thus it is surprising that the historical record clearly demonstrates that criminalizing unauthorized entry and re-entry is based on racist principles (Ngai 20).
Since many of the remaining sections of the Voting Rights Act have been vigorously challenged, I think there is substantial evidence that these laws prevent citizens from voting and discriminate disproportionately against African-Americans and Hispanics……………for help with this assignment contact us via email Address: consulttutor10@gmail.com
