○ it required federal supervision of all voter registration.
○ it protected voting rights for all americans by taking away qualifications.

Explanation:

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 eliminated discriminatory voting barriers like literacy tests, which were used to disenfranchise Black voters. It did not remove government voting rights safeguards, ban federal oversight entirely, or allow literacy tests. Instead, it enforced equal access to voting for all Americans by targeting unfair qualifications.

Answer:

It protected voting rights for all Americans by taking away qualifications.
