Answer 1

The 24th Amendment prevents disenfranchisement of low-income voters by banning states from charging voters a fee to cast a ballot.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quote referenced in the question is from the 24th Amendment of the United States Constitution. It states that the right to vote for President, Vice President, Senators, and Representatives cannot be denied or limited by the United States or any State due to failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.

This amendment was adopted in 1964 to address the issue of poll taxes, which were used as a means to disenfranchise certain groups, particularly low-income individuals and people of color. By prohibiting states from charging voters a fee to cast a ballot, the 24th Amendment aimed to protect the voting rights of all citizens.
