The 24th Amendment to the Constitution reads: "Section. 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax."

I don't really see any connection between the Revolutionary War and "poll taxes". You might be able to argue an association between the Civil War and poll taxes.

How did the colonists expieriences under British rule influence the decision to add the Bill of Rights to the Constitution?

The American colonists' experiences under British rule were a decisive influence upon the American Founders' decision to add the Bill of Rights to the newly ratified Constitution in 1791. The Second Amendment, for example, was derived from the American experience in the Revolutionary War, where the 'right to bear arms' had nearly been taken from them by the British and in fact proved to be one key factor in the initial successes of the 'Patriot cause' when hostilities formally broke out.

This sentament was carried over into congressional debates on the constitution and was eventually enacted as part of the 1st amendment; thereby preventing the sponsorship of any one religion over another.

His ideas helped in many ways but most importantly his belief in Religious and freedom from government sponsored religion influenced the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. The 1st Amendment (Bill of Rights) protects citizens from having their government dictate religious practices. To paraphrase the 1st Amendment, the government cannot establish a religion and it cannot prevent citizens from establishing a religion. This became known as the "Establishment Clause".

When does an amendment become part of the US Constitution?

The President of the United States plays absolutely no role in ratifying the Constitution. It takes two-thirds of the Senate and two-thirds of the House of Representatives to propose an amendment. After a proposal is obtained, three-fourths of the States must ratify the amendment in order for it to become part of the Constitution. Our Constitution was deliberately setup so that changing it was near impossible. The Constitution was set up by our forefathers in order to change it if needed to, not to be a tyrannical form of government that they had recently escaped. Also keep in mind that checks and balances allow our government to limit the other branches as well as influence each other, as the judicial branch can deem anything unconstitutional and the executive branch can veto bills. If the need is great the Constitution was deliberately set up to change with time.
