... discourage African Americans from voting.

Poll taxes means you have to pay a tax before allowed to vote.  That's a way of preventing poor persons (like blacks in the South) from voting.

In addition to poll taxes, other measures were also used to block blacks from participating in the voting process. For instance, literacy tests would require persons to pass certain standards of reading and writing in order to qualify for voting.  These tests were aimed at blacks, who had not had access to the same education as whites.

The purpose of poll taxes in southern states was to discourage African Americans from voting.

African Americans could not exactly afford poll tax due to slavery practice in the past, therefore they were poor, and they found it easier and affordable to not participate in voting.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ "The \ history \ of \ the \ present \ King \ of \ Great \ Britain..."}}

Explanation:

Let's examine each quote.

“becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them”

  • This states that the colonies need to be independent.

“The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations”

  • This quote states that the King (George III) had abused his power and impeded on rights.

“it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government”

  • This states that the people are allowed to change or get rid of a government.

“and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer”

  • History shows people will suffer.

So, the quote that demonstrates King George III has abused the colonist's right is<u> B. “The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations” </u>
