2.  Provide a paragraph on an important issue of your choice from Section 2:
    An important issue in section 2 is literacy, because of peoples ability to read or not can determine the way they vote. literacy is  important because you need to be able to read because if you can't people can take advantage on how you vote, like the will tell you things but if you can't read you don't know that what they say is the truth because its not write in front of you and you just list to what they say, although it might not be true.

   The fifteenth Amendment is a issue that is important to the voting and civil rights. the fifteenth amendment gave the right to vote to anyone of any race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

4.  Provide a paragraph on an important issue of your choice from Section 4:
    An important issue is people who do not vote. Why people not vote because they don't think that there vote will count or it doesn't matter if i vote, those are the ideas that people have so they don't go and vote. I think that it is important to vote because if you don't the person that you want may not win or the law that you want may not pass. that is why it is important to vote and it helps the country move on the next thing faster.

voter apathy is when people can vote but chose not to because the don't think that it will help at all so the just don't can about it. we need to show how important it is to vote because it has an impact on the elections if people don't then people aren't happy about what happens.
