How does pluralist, elite, bureaucratic, and social movement theories explain/not explain the issue of racial discrimination against voting rights?

Question

What legislation has been passed or not passed, what role did mass demonstrations or civil disobedience play now or in the past, how are interest groups important, and what is the current state of the issue compared to earlier eats?

Answer 1

I assume that you are writing a short essay on this question. I would suggest that you begin your research by defining each of these terms. Then you can discuss legislation that affects voting rights (easily found on the internet) and important events in the struggle for civil rights for African Americans (also easily found on Google). Once you have completed these steps, you should be able to form a thesis that answers the question of whether these theories do or do not explain the issue of racial discrimination against voting rights.
