What did the 24th amendment to the constitution prohibit?

History

The 24th Amendment prohibited poll taxes or other taxes as qualifications for voting.

Poll taxes had been a way states had discriminated against black voters, by using their lower income status and poll taxes as a way to prevent them from going to the polls.  During the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, this was challenged.  The 24th Amendment, ratified in 1964, said: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax," and added:  "The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

What groups of people made up the roughriders explain why was it best for the rough riders to be made up out of these groups.
eimsori [14]

The Rough Riders were a volunteer cavalry military unit from the US, raised in 1898 to participate in combats during the Spanish-American War. The US had decided to intervene in the conflict between Cuba and Spain after the explosion of the cruise USS Maine, for which the Spanish were blamed.

President McKingley had called for volunteers due to the situation of the army, which was small and understaffed, if compared to previous conflicts. <u>Being constituted by volunteers</u> fostered the sucess of this military unit as they were fueled by an inner passion towards defending their country and its prestige, therefore they fought with this extra motivation.

A characteristic of perfect competition is when ​
frutty [35]

Answer:

Firms are said to be in perfect competition when the following conditions occur: (1) many firms produce identical products; (2) many buyers are available to buy the product, and many sellers are available to sell the product; (3) sellers and buyers have all relevant information to make rational decisions about the product being bought and sold; and (4) firms can enter and leave the market without any restrictions—in other words, there is free entry and exit into and out of the market.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive firm is known as a price taker, because the pressure of competing firms forces them to accept the prevailing equilibrium price in the market. If a firm in a perfectly competitive market raises the price of its product by so much as a penny, it will lose all of its sales to competitors. When a wheat grower, as discussed in the Bring it Home feature, wants to know what the going price of wheat is, he or she has to go to the computer or listen to the radio to check. The market price is determined solely by supply and demand in the entire market and not the individual farmer. Also, a perfectly competitive firm must be a very small player in the overall market, so that it can increase or decrease output without noticeably affecting the overall quantity supplied and price in the market.

A perfectly competitive market is a hypothetical extreme; however, producers in a number of industries do face many competitor firms selling highly similar goods, in which case they must often act as price takers. Agricultural markets are often used as an example. The same crops grown by different farmers are largely interchangeable. According to the United States Department of Agriculture monthly reports, in 2015, U.S. corn farmers received an average price of $6.00 per bushel and wheat farmers received an average price of $6.00 per bushel. A corn farmer who attempted to sell at $7.00 per bushel, or a wheat grower who attempted to sell for $8.00 per bushel, would not have found any buyers. A perfectly competitive firm will not sell below the equilibrium price either. Why should they when they can sell all they want at the higher price? Other examples of agricultural markets that operate in close to perfectly competitive markets are small roadside produce markets and small organic farmers.
