The 24th Amendment, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 all aim to eliminate discrimination and promote equal rights in the United States. The 24th Amendment prohibits poll taxes in federal elections, thereby removing financial barriers to voting, while the Voting Rights Act protects against racial discrimination in voting practices. The EEOC enforces federal laws against employment discrimination, ensuring equal opportunities in the workplace.
