Answer: To highlight the need for federal voting rights legislation to remove barriers that prevented African Americans from voting.
Context:
In September, 1963, a bombing at a church in Birmingham sparked the African American community into strong action in Alabama to push for the rights of black citizens. As noted in a Voting Rights Timeline provided by Alabama State University, "the murder of four black girls at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham" was the catalyst that launched a "new thrust on voting rights by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC)."
The voting rights campaign in Alabama culminated in the Selma to Montgomery March in March, 1965. Martin Luther King, Jr., as president of the SCLC, was a key participant in that campaign, as was John Lewis, chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Marchers (including Lewis) were attacked and beaten by state troopers the first time they attempted the march. Many Americans were sickened by the scenes of this which they saw on television, and National Guard troops then were deployed to protect the marchers as they again made their effort. There were roughly 2,000 (not 20,000) who made the successful march from Selma to Montgomery, March 21-25, 1965. When they arrived in Montgomery, they were met by a crowd of nearly 50,000 supporters, both blacks and whites in that supportive group.
The main reason why suburbs in the United States grew in the period after World War II is that growing families moved out of crowded urban areas to seek more space. Although most jobs were located in cities, the access to cars and public transportation allowed people to move farther away from their jobs. As the economy improved after the war, and many babies were born (baby boomers), new families wanted to enjoy nicer houses with more space. As they had the money to afford them, new developments were built in areas outside of the urban centers, where more space was available. This exodus was predominantly of wealthy, white American families.

Explanation:
Federalism is there to limit the government and it does that by creating two separate sovereign powers. Those powers are the national government which is the whole U.S.A. and state governments which are states by themselves. This restrains the influence of both of them.
Separation of powers imposes limits by dividing the government and giving separate branches separate functions so that they can and must share power.
Answer:
To raise revenue for the British troops stationed in the American colonies after the French and Indian War.
Explanation:
During theFrench and Indian War, which lasted from 1756 to 1763, the British national debt doubled. The war was won, but the British Empire was facing a new problem, the one of financial nature. There were ten thousand soldiers on the territory of American colonies, and large amounts of money were needed to keep these troops there.
As raising taxes in Britain was out of question due to protests against the Cider Bill of 1763 (tax on cider), on March 22, 1765, the British Parliament passed the Stamp Act, according to which all American colonists were required to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper they used, from legal documents to playing cards. The money collected this way was used to strengthen the American frontier near the Appalachian mountains, but the colonists viewed this as England's attempt to raise money in the colonies and a possibility of additional taxation in the future.
