... 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.

-On the one hand, the executive branch is in charge of the administration of the country's resources and the application of the laws passed by Congress. This branch consists of the President, the Vice President and the Executive Cabinet. The executive branch controls the legislative branch through the veto power of the President, who can determine that a law sanctioned by the Congress does not become valid; and the judicial power through the proposal of who are the candidates to become judges of the Supreme Court.

-The legislative power consists of the Congress and its function is to enact the laws that will govern life in society in the nation. It is also in charge of controlling the executive power through the approval of certain acts of the President by the Senate, and in turn the judicial power in conjunction with the executive branch through the holding of political impeachments to certain officials.

-The judiciary consists of the Supreme Court of the United States and lower courts at the Federal level, and its function is to interpret the Constitution of the United States and the other laws of the nation and to sanction those who fail to comply with said regulations. Through the interpretation of the Constitution, the Supreme Court exercises a constitutional control of the acts of both the President and the Congress.
