What was the purpose of grandfather clauses?

History
2 answers:
Basile [38]3 years ago

The grandfather clauses were laws that allowed people to vote if their fathers and grandfathers had voted. They were made because the poll taxes and the literacy tests prevented some whites from voting, and by making the grandfather clauses, they were able to vote.

<em>I was looking for the answer but I couldn't find one that was very convincing, so I decided to add my own. Hope this helps some people in the same situation as me haha.  ;P</em>

btw: I did get this answer from the textbook<em> Discovering our past A History Of The United States</em> Mc Graw Hill Education or whatever.

Answer: This is why - Grandfather clauses were statutes that seven Southern states implemented in the 1890s and early 1900s to prevent African Americans from voting. The statutes allowed any person who had been granted the right to vote before 1867 to continue voting without needing to take literacy tests, own property, or pay poll taxes.

(MC)Which phrase summarizes the question before the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education (1954)?
expeople1 [14]
Hello

Here something for help you to answer and for help you later may be.


Racial segregation in the public schools is unconstitutional, as a violation of the equal protection cause . Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka , 347 U.S 483 was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court declared state laws establishing separated public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional. The decision overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision of 1896, which allowed state-sponsored segregation , insofar as it applied to public education. Handed down on may 17, 1954, The Warren Court’s unanimous decision stated that " separate educational facilities are inherently unequal " As a result, de jure racial segregation was ruled a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of The Fourteenth Amendment of The United States Constitution. This ruling paved the way for integration and was a major victory of the Civil Rights Movement, and a model for many future impact litigation cases.
However, the decision’s fourteen pages did not spell out any sort of method for ending racial segregation in schools , and the Court’s second decision in Brown II, 349 U.S 249 only ordered states to desegregate " with all deliberate speed "
