1. Why do you think the Constitution left to the states the authority for regulating voting? Throughout history, what have been the pluses and minuses of this for some voters?
2. What were some of the voting "tests" Southern states devised to restrict African Americans from
voting? How did the Voting Rights Act take some of this authority away from the states, and what
were the results?
3. Describe some voter ID laws that were enacted in some states and how recently federal courts
have responded to them. Do you agree or disagree with these courts' decisions and why?|

For many Americans, voting is not a “prime time” event. Less than 60 percent of eligible voters voted in the 2012 general election. Yet, for other Americans, voting is a very meaningful, almost sacred duty. In this lesson, students will view three short films that explore the importance of voting. Each film/activity examines the topic from a different, thought-provoking perspective. Show each film in sequence and follow with the discussion questions or activity provided. Culminate with an activity that revisits students’ initial ideas about the importance of voting.
