| Beschreibung: | "The initial impetus for this book was a forum on voting rights at the University of Utah in 2006." Includes bibliographical references and index Meaningful votes / Daniel McCool -- The constitutional foundations of the "preclearance" process : how section 5 of the Voting Rights Act was enforced, 1965-2005 / Peyton McCrary -- Influence district and the courts : a concept in need of clarity / Richard L. Engstrom -- The Bull Connor is dead myth : or why we need strong, effectively enforced voting rights laws / Laughlin McDonald -- Bull Connor is long dead : let's move on / Abigail Thernstrom -- The Voting Rights Act in South Dakota : one litigator's perspective on reauthorization / Bryan L. Sells -- Realistic expectations : South Dakota's experience with the Voting Rights Act / Chris -- Nelson -- The continuing need for the language-assistance provisions of the Voting Rights Act / James Thomas Tucker -- Policy and constitutional objections to section 203 of the Voting Rights Act / Roger Clegg -- After NAMUDNO : the shape of future litigation / Edward Blum -- Looking backward to and forward from the 2006 Voting Rights Act reauthorization / Debo P. Adegbile Passed in 1965 during the height of the Civil Rights movement, the Voting Rights Act (VRA) changed the face of the American electorate, dramatically increasing minority voting, especially in the South. While portions of the Act are permanent, certain provisions were set to expire in 2007. Reauthorization of these provisions passed by a wide margin in the House, and unanimously in the Senate, but the lopsided tally hid a deep and growing conflict. The Most Fundamental Right is an effort to understand the debate over the Act and its role in contemporary American democracy. Is the VRA the cornerstone of civil rights law that prevents unfair voting practices, or is it an anachronism that no longer serves American democracy? Divided into three sections, the book utilizes a point/counterpoint approach. Section 1 explains the legal and political context of the Act, providing important background for what follows; Section 2 pairs three debates concerning specific provisions or applications of the Act; while Section 3 offers commentaries on the previous chapters from attorneys with widely divergent viewpoints |

Adegbile Passed in 1965 during the height of the Civil Rights movement, the Voting Rights Act (VRA) changed the face of the American electorate, dramatically increasing minority voting, especially in the South. While portions of the Act are permanent, certain provisions were set to expire in 2007. Reauthorization of these provisions passed by a wide margin in the House, and unanimously in the Senate, but the lopsided tally hid a deep and growing conflict. The Most Fundamental Right is an effort to understand the debate over the Act and its role in contemporary American democracy. Is the VRA the cornerstone of civil rights law that prevents unfair voting practices, or is it an anachronism that no longer serves American democracy? Divided into three sections, the book utilizes a point/counterpoint approach. Section 1 explains the legal and political context of the Act, providing important background for what follows; Section 2 pairs three debates concerning specific provisions or applications of the Act; while Section 3 offers commentaries on the previous chapters from attorneys with widely divergent viewpoints United States / Voting Rights Act of 1965 / Congresses United States Voting Rights Act of 1965 Congresses USA Voting rights act (DE-588)4769728-3 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1965-2007 gnd rswk-swf LAW / Constitutional bisacsh LAW / Public bisacsh Voting Rights Act of 1965 (United States) fast Minorities / Suffrage fast Suffrage fast Minderheit Suffrage United States Congresses Minorities Suffrage United States Congresses Wahlrecht (DE-588)4064302-5 gnd rswk-swf Rechtsanwendung (DE-588)4048765-9 gnd rswk-swf Minderheit (DE-588)4752223-9 gnd rswk-swf USA USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)1071861417 Konferenzschrift gnd-content USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Wahlrecht (DE-588)4064302-5 s Minderheit (DE-588)4752223-9 s Geschichte 1965-2007 z 1\p DE-604 USA Voting rights act (DE-588)4769728-3 u Rechtsanwendung (DE-588)4048765-9 s 2\p DE-604 McCool, Daniel Sonstige oth http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=488591 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
