On this day in 1964, the Twenty-fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified. This amendment prohibited the federal and state governments from imposing poll taxes before a citizen can participate in a federal election. The Twenty-fourth amendment was adopted as a response to policies adopted in various Southern states after the ending of post-Civil War Reconstruction to limit the political participation of African Americans. Such policies were bolstered by the 1927 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Breedlove v. Suttles, which upheld a Georgia poll tax. Because the tax applied to all voters rather than just certain classes of voters, it did not violate the Fourteenth or Fifteenth Amendment.
