The Volstead Act
Violators of the Enforcement Act of 1870, which aimed to protect voting rights and curb racial discrimination in elections, could face criminal penalties. Offenders could be fined or imprisoned for up to five years, depending on the severity of the violation. The act empowered federal authorities to prosecute individuals who conspired to deny citizens the right to vote based on race or color. Additionally, the law sought to hold accountable those who used intimidation or threats to interfere with voting rights.
Violators of the Enforcement Act of 1870 were typically identified through investigations and reports by federal officials, local authorities, and citizens who reported instances of voter intimidation or discrimination, particularly against African Americans. The Act aimed to protect the voting rights of citizens and imposed penalties on those who interfered with these rights. Enforcement was carried out by federal marshals and troops, who could intervene in instances of violence or intimidation at polling places. Ultimately, the legal process involved prosecution in federal courts to address violations.
Presidents are allowed to pardon whomever they decide. Pardons given to all violators of a certain law is called amnesty. Though the president can forgive violators and nullify the punishment for violating a law, they cannot repeal the law; future violators will be punished as they are not under the act of amnesty. One example of this is Lincoln's amnesty to Union deserters and Rebel forces. Though participants in the rebellion were pardoned, it is still "illegal" to secede from the United States and to desert your military post.
