Match voting rights legislation

Using the Voting Rights Act knowledge point, we identify that literacy tests were a major barrier to voting for minority groups, which was directly targeted and outlawed by the landmark federal legislation known as the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Match constitutional amendments

Using the Constitutional Amendments knowledge point, we match the constitutional changes:

• The 26th Amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to 18 in 1971.
• The 24th Amendment outlawed the use of poll taxes in federal elections in 1964.

Match campaign finance terms

We analyze the campaign finance items:

• The agency that records political contributions and enforces campaign finance law is the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
• The legislative act that banned unrestricted "soft money" donations to national political parties is the McCain-Feingold Bill (Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002).

Match political spectrum positions

We align the ideological terms with their positions on the political spectrum:

• Liberal is positioned to the Left of Center.
• Moderate is positioned at the Center.
• Conservative is positioned to the Right of Center.
