The 23rd amendment gave residents of DC the right to vote. The 24th amendment took away voter poll taxes.The 26th amendment gave voting rights to all citizens 18 and older the right to vote.
Amendments were required because the original constitution said the states could set voting requirements that usually limited voting to white males who owned property.
