Answer 1

Ans 1.(c)

Ans 2.(b)

Shelby County v. Holder (2013), is a landmark United States Supreme Court case regarding the constitutionality of two provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965: Section 5, which requires certain states and local governments to obtain federal preclearance before implementing any changes to their voting laws or practices; and Section 4(b), which contains the coverage formula that determines which jurisdictions are subjected to preclearance based on their histories of discrimination in voting. The Court ruled that Section 4(b) is unconstitutional because the coverage formula is based on data over 40 years old and thus it is no longer responsive to current needs. However, the Court did not strike down Section 5. But without Section 4(b), no jurisdiction will be subject to Section 5 preclearance unless Congress enacts a new coverage formula.
