Poll taxes and Literacy laws were two of the primary ways that some states kept minorities from voting. Poll taxes were set to a point that would not be difficult for White people to afford, but Very difficult for Minorities. White voters would be given something simple to read, and minorities would be given bits of Shakespeare. 
Many states removed them voluntarily as they saw the way the mood of the country was moving, and as State Legislatures became more enlightened. However, for those states that did not, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ended the practices everywhere for good.


<span>The Twenty Fourth Amendment, ratified in 1964, outlawed poll taxes. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was the law that outlawed literacy tests.</span>

Why did forming corporations allow big business to increase in power and profitability?
anastassius [24]
First, governments in most countries have created laws against monopolies for large corporations, which prevents that corporations have influence or power to weaken or do away with the smaller companies that are forming and gaining power and profitability. Second, large corporations use this as a way to gain competitiveness and revitalize the market, since it is known that where competition does not exist, it falls into mediocrity. Thus, a market where there are several companies that compete, keep alive the economic system, and there is always the possibility for large corporations, to buy the rival company, and gain with all their human capital, ideas, brands and fame of the company. Something like this was seen when Facebook buys WhatsApp for 21.8 billion dollars.
