Respuesta :
The correct answer is letter D.
The residents of the District of Columbia weren’t allowed to vote in presidential elections until the 1960s.
The U.S. capital is a special federal district, not a state, and that’s why until 1961 they didn’t have any voting rights, and still don’t have any voting representation in Congress.
Residents of Washington, DC
Further Explanation:
Voting rights that are given to the voters of Washington DC are different from voting rights that are provided under the constitution of the United States to voters of other 50 states of the US. According to the constitution, each state has one voting representation in each house of the Congress that is the Senate and House of Representatives but because of DC (District of Columbia) being a special federal district and not a state, is denied any representation in the house.
According to the US constitution, In the House of Representatives, A chosen delegate is the one who represents the district but he is not allowed or permitted to vote on the house floor on any matter or even in congressional committees. Residents of DC do not have any kind of representation in Senate but according to the twenty-third amendment which was adopted in the year 1961, The DC gets the same electoral votes as that of least populous state during the election for President and Vice President and they were the last who were given this right to vote during presidential elections.
