What was the purpose of a literacy test in the context of voting?

  1. To ensure voters were knowledgeable about candidates

  2. To restrict voting rights through difficult examinations

  3. To increase the voter turnout

  4. To verify citizen's age and residency

The correct answer is: To restrict voting rights through difficult examinations

A literacy test was used as a discriminatory tactic to restrict voting rights. These tests were designed to be purposely difficult and were often used to prevent African Americans from being able to vote. It was not used to measure knowledge about candidates, increase voter turnout, or verify citizenship. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the purpose or history of literacy tests in relation to voting.
