ESSAY ON: IMPACT OF THE 24TH AMENDMENT ON CIVIL RIGHTS

Number of Pages 4

This research paper: 4 pages in length. The 24th Amendment helped to further the efforts of expanding civil rights through greater access to voting. Historically, poll tax had been levied in order for people to cast votes in federal elections, a mandate Congress strived to eliminate in 1939 to remove the last bit of voter-related property taxation that still remained from colonial times. Eleven southern states incorporated the poll tax into its voting prerequisites after the Reconstruction; just five states held onto this Amendment at ratification. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
