amendment?
The 24th amendment, ratified in 1964, abolished the poll tax, which was a fee imposed on voters in some states as a condition of voting. The poll tax had disproportionately affected black Americans and was a barrier to their participation in the political process, as many could not afford to pay it. With the abolition of the poll tax, black Americans and other marginalized groups were no longer disenfranchised purely on the basis of economic status, and their ability to participate in the political process was further expanded beyond what was granted in the 15th amendment.
