The result is: "It exemplifies how Jim Crow Laws violated the equality provisions included in the 14th Amendment".

The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution was enacted in 1868, in the aftermath of the US Civil War. Its provisions guaranteed the equality of rights for all US citizens, without discrimination in terms of race, gender, religion or others. Such rights included voting rights.

But in practice, many Southern states tried to circumvent the mentioned provisions by enacting the so-called Jim Crow laws, which tried to indirectly prevent African Americans from voting by setting requirements to have access to vote, such as, minimum income level or passing a literacy test. The majority of people who did not meet the criteria were black citizens.

The US Supreme Court kept on overturning these laws, but as soon one of them was prohibited, a new one was ready. This mechanism was not stopped until the enactment of the Voting Rights Act in 1975, which finally brought equality of rights in voting for all US citizens, also in practice.
