The correct answer is "Expand African-American voting rights."

The 24th amendment states that individuals voting in primaries or the general election for the President/Vice-President should not be stopped due to a poll tax. The reason behind this amendment was the use of poll taxes to stop African-Americans in the South from voting after the 15th amendment was passed in 1870. In order to restrict the political power of African-Americans, southern states passed poll taxes. This was a certain amount of money an individual needed to pay in order to vote. Considering that many African-Americans in the late 19th century did not have a source of income due to their status as slaves before, this law prevented hundreds of thousands of African-American citizens from voting over the course of roughly 6 decades.

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The decisions in Miranda v. Arizona, Gideon v. Wainwright, and Mapp v. Ohio are very important to defendants in criminal proceedings today because they enlarged defendants' rights in criminal trials and investigations.

Thus, Miranda v. Arizona refers to the fact that those accused of a crime must know their rights prior to being questioned by the police, that is, that everything they say can be used against them and that they have the right to consult a lawyer.

For its part, Gideon v. Wainwright guaranteed the defendants the right to have a lawyer, even when they could not afford it on their own financial means. In this way, a defendant is not left legally unprotected for not being able to afford a lawyer, since it is the state that grants him one for free.

Finally, Mapp v. Ohio prohibits the use of illegitimately obtained evidence in criminal proceedings. Thus, non-compliance with the Fourth Amendment (and the consequent search without a warrant) renders the evidence obtained in this way not admissible in court.
