Grandfather clauses were designed to prevent poor and illiterate African Americans from voting.
This term was coined in the 19th century when new rules for literacy tests, poll taxes and requirements for voting were established.
Some white people who did not fulfill the requirements were still allowed to vote because their ancestors ( grandfathers ) had the right to vote. This was a way to make voting possible for white Americans, and to make voting almost impossible for black people.
Today, this term applies to a provision in which an old rule continues to apply to some existing situation while a new rule will apply to future cases.

Explanation:
The address delivered by President Woodrow Wilson on January 8, 1918 is known as <em>Fourteen Points Speech</em>. During the speech he talked about about peace in Europe and Americas. He urged the Allies to set <em>unselfish peace terms with the central powers in the matters of freedom of seas, right to national self defence, restoration of territories conquered during the wa</em>r.
He talked bout <em>fourteen strategies </em>to ensure world peace and national security. It set the tone for US foreign policy and postwar American diplomacy. He foresaw that isolationist policy will not be helpful and international relations would become more important to global commerce and American security. So he advocated about<em> arms reduction, equal trade conditions and national sovereignty for the former colonies.</em>
