1) Literacy tests were deemed illegal.

2) The federal government would watch over states where obstacles were used to prevent African Americans from voting in the past.

3)The Attorney General could investigate any state or local election who were still trying to use poll taxes.

Explanation:

Literacy tests, poll taxes, and grandfather clauses were all obstacles to African Americans voting in local, state, and national elections. These obstacles were implemented during the late 19th century to target black voters. With the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the goal was to ensure that blacks had equal opportunity to vote. This is why the federal government increased their power and oversight to ensure these citizens had the right to vote.
