Florida Civics EOC Practice Test

What did the 24th amendment eliminate?

1. Poll tax

2. Segregation

3. Libel

4. Statutory law

The correct answer is: Poll tax

The 24th amendment eliminated the poll tax, which required voters to pay a fee in order to vote. This was a discriminatory practice that disproportionately affected low-income and African American individuals, making it harder for them to exercise their right to vote. Option B is incorrect because segregation was not eliminated until the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. C and D are also incorrect because the 24th amendment did not address matters of libel or statutory law.
