To determine who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 based on the provided table, we need to focus on the "No" votes column, as these indicate opposition.
Here is a detailed interpretation of the table:
1. Republican Party Column:
- The table does not provide specific data on "No" votes directly for the Republican Party in the context shown above. However, based on the given context, if there were no "No" values mentioned, we can infer no explicit opposition entries given.
2. Democrat Party Column:
- In the row for the Democrat Party, we see:
- Yes: 27
- No: 6
3. Northern States Column:
- The row represents all the votes from Northern States:
- Yes: 76
- No: 21
By examining these entries:
- The Democrat Party had 6 individuals who opposed the Act.
- The Northern States had 21 individuals who opposed the Act.
Based on this detailed breakdown, let’s fit these findings to the provided options:
- Members of the Republican Party: No direct 'No' votes data provided for this group.
- Members of the Democrat Party and the Northern States: This correctly includes the 'No' votes from both the Democrat Party (6) and the Northern States (21).
- Residents of Northern states and the Republican Party: While 21 from Northern States matches, there's no specific data confirming the opposition by Republicans directly.
- Residents of Southern states: No 'No' votes from Southern states are provided in your supplied data.
Thus, the correct interpretation based on the table is:
Members of the Democrat Party and the Northern States opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
