Congress helped to pass several different laws that helped marginalize groups during the 20th century including:

1) The 19th amendment- The 19th amendment, passed in 1920, helped women gain the right to vote. This significantly helped women in American society, as it gave them a voice in the political process along with the ability to vote for individuals who would serve in their best interests.

2) The 24th amendment- This amendment outlawed the use of poll taxes as a means to stop people from voting. During the late 19th and early 20th century, poll taxes were used as a way to stop African-American men from voting in local, state, and national elections. Making this illegal allowed more African-American men to vote in elections.
