The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was necessary to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment because, despite the amendment prohibiting racial discrimination in voting, many states employed discriminatory practices such as literacy tests, poll taxes, and intimidation to disenfranchise Black voters and other minorities. The Act aimed to eliminate these barriers by providing federal oversight and enforcement mechanisms to ensure fair voting access. It empowered the federal government to intervene in states with a history of discrimination, thereby strengthening the protections guaranteed by the Fifteenth Amendment. Ultimately, the Act was crucial in advancing civil rights and ensuring that all citizens could exercise their right to vote.
