In order to prevent African Americans from exercising their right to vote.

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, such as literacy tests. 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 other group was merchants from the lower class who were often looked down upon but because of their succes in their respective guilds they were brought together. The middle class grew in importance due to the fact that there was a significant growth in the number of towns. The rise of the middle class created a merchant class, responsible for the growth of cities, increased trade, and lifted people from the lower class.

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: FEDERAL INCOME TAX

Explanation:

The most likely tax that follows the principle that states that people should pay based on their ability is the federal income tax. This tax is progressive as the high income earners pay a higher percentage as tax when compared to he low income earners.

The sales tax and doctors license fees aren't progressive, as the rich and the poor all pay same amount. This doesn't align with the principle.
