Answer to Question 1

Selective exposure

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Describe the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as prohibiting racial discrimination in public accommodations involving interstate commerce.
2, Describe the Voting Rights Act of 1965 as protecting the right to vote regardless of race or ethnicity.
3, Explain how the South had successfully avoided the promises of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments through various mechanisms including Jim Crow laws and literacy tests. Since it appeared that the South would never rescind these laws itself, Congress stepped in to pass these two landmark pieces of legislation.
