Question 1 • CA-Ethnic Studies

What impact does the disenfranchisement of individuals with felony convictions primarily have?

Answer
A
It increases educational opportunities.
B
It disproportionately affects Black and Hispanic communities.
C
It leads to higher employment rates among affected individuals.
D
It encourages civic engagement among young adults.

Explanation

Disenfranchisement removes voting rights from people with felony convictions, and because incarceration and felony convictions disproportionately affect Black and Hispanic communities, these communities lose voting power at higher rates. It does not increase education or employment; the primary impact is the unequal effect on these communities.
