The value in American identity that is most fundamental to the U.S. political system is individual rights.
The two reasons why the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was necessary are:
1. Each citizen must be able to participate in government: The Act was necessary to ensure that all eligible citizens, regardless of their race or ethnicity, were able to fully exercise their right to vote and participate in the democratic process.
2. Each citizen must have equal voting power in federal elections: The Act aimed to eliminate racial discrimination in voting practices and policies that were used to suppress the voting power of minority groups, particularly African Americans. It sought to enforce equal voting rights for all citizens, thereby ensuring that each citizen's vote was of equal importance in federal elections.
The condition that enabled the virtual enslavement of Asian Americans in the late 19th century was the refusal of the government to protect Asian Americans from their employers.
