Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Twenty-fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1964, prohibited the use of poll taxes in federal elections. This amendment helped to eliminate a significant barrier to voting for many African Americans, who had been effectively disenfranchised in the South due to the financial burden of paying poll taxes. The amendment did not address other forms of discrimination, such as the use of literacy tests or the denial of voting rights through other means.
