2. PART A: Which TWO of the following best identify the central themes of this article?

O A While Congress has the right to overrule changes states make
to their voting laws, members of Congress generally refrain
from doing so out of respect for states' rights.

B The Voting Rights Act of 1965, which followed on the heels of a
deadly clash known as "Bloody Sunday,' greatly increased the
participation of African-Americans in elections.

O c The advances Lyndon B. Johnson made in terms of civil rights in
the United States were only possible because of his control
over a substantial military force.

OD Though many of us take the right to vote for granted today,
African-Americans went through years of protests before their
voting rights were secured.
E Recent adjustments to the civil rights legislation of the 1960s,
such as in the case of Shelby County v. Holder, has effectively
undone President Johnson's achievements.
OF Advocates of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 believed that
American election system was rigged such that only a small
minority of "ruling elites" actually chose elected officials.
