In the US what disqualifies you from voting legally?
In many states, a felony conviction for anything removes your voting rights. A conviction on most felony offenses will cause you to have your voting rights removed or curtailed. I believe that there are at least 2 states that allow felons in prison to vote but the remainder do not. Some states have provisions in their law to allow a convicted felon (once they have served their time) to have their record altered (expunged) and they can once again regain their rights, but not all. you will have to research your own states law on this matter.
Which practice illustrates that the civil liberties were limited for African Americans after the civil war?
The Jim Crow laws prevented African Americans from voting, having equal rights for schools, housing, medical care, and everyday needs. It wasn't until the 1964 Civil rights movement and act that many of the things that had been denied to African Americans for over a 100 years was finally achieved. Today there is an effort in some states to roll back some of the civil rights that have been gained. This is especially true with voting rights. Restrictions have been put in place that are written to effectively stop some groups of people from voting. This includes African Americans, the poor, and older people.
What is the average voting age?
You have to be 18 or older and you have to be legally registered to vote. In 1971, the Twenty-sixth Amendment set the legal voting age at 18 for both US federal and state elections.In the United States nineteen states permit 17-year-olds to vote in primary elections and caucuses if they will be 18 years of age, by election day. An amendment to the state constitution is being considered in the Illinois legislature that would lower its voting age to 17 for non-federal elections, though states can set their voting age to lower than eighteen for federal elections as well. Because it only applies to state elections, seventeen-year-olds would not be able to vote in primaries and general elections for representatives, senators, and President of the United States even if the amendment passes the legislature and referendum

Why do the voting rights act matter?
Before the voting rights act states limited people's right to vote because of race or location. In 1867 African Americans were given citizenship rights with the 13, 14, 15 amendments, but barriers were put into place to keep African American citizens from voting. Poll taxes, reading tests, constitution tests were used until 1964 and the civil rights laws were passed. Today, some states are passing laws again to restrict voting. A good example of this is having to show a form of ID given by the state. Some older voters don't have the means, funds, or documents to meet the added voting requirements. Anytime voting is restricted our democracy is in danger.
