CONTENT REQUIREMENTS:

1. Describe the provisions (parts) of the Voting Rights Act that discuss the issue of “pre-

2. Compare and contrast the views of those who think the federal government should have the

   the federal government should have the power of “pre-clearance” relating to election laws.

4. List at least two things you could do in order to engage in the political process in pursuit of
   your position in (3) above.
