You are an attorney. Your client, who is in prison, says the government is violating her Fourteenth Amendment rights. What do you do?

If your client is claiming that the government is violating her Fourteenth Amendment rights, you would begin by researching her case to see if the Fourteenth Amendment applies. If it does not apply, you would explain to your client that the Fourteenth Amendment does not apply to her because she is a naturalized citizen rather than a U.S. citizen from birth. If the Fourteenth Amendment does apply, you would file a motion for a mistrial based on violation of the Constitution.

The Twenty-fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1964, prohibits the use of poll taxes in federal elections, effectively ensuring that no citizen can be denied the right to vote due to their inability to pay such a tax. This amendment aimed to eliminate financial barriers that disproportionately affected low-income and minority voters. However, it specifically addresses poll taxes and does not directly mention child support or other fees. The broader movement toward voting rights also contributed to subsequent legal challenges against state-level voting restrictions.
