Read the excerpt from "A History of Voting Rights.”Since the passage of the constitutional amendments, women and African American leaders have continued to struggle for the rights of their constituents. This has meant seeking greater access to elected office as well as reducing obstacles to voting that still exist.
Answer
A
by noting that in modern times there are fewer leaders than there were in the late 1800s
B
by explaining that since the late 1800s little has changed in terms of people’s right to vote
C
by mentioning that even today citizens face barriers to exercising their right to vote
D
by making the case that since the 1800s oppressive voting laws have become even stronger
Explanation
The excerpt says women and African American leaders are still working to reduce obstacles to voting. That shows that some citizens continue to face barriers to exercising their right to vote today. Choice C states this idea; the excerpt does not say that voting laws have grown stronger or that little has changed overall.
