The grandfather clause, which allowed individuals to bypass certain regulations or requirements based on their prior status, particularly in voting laws, began to be challenged and ultimately diminished in the mid-20th century. The U.S. Supreme Court declared such clauses unconstitutional in the 1965 Voting Rights Act, effectively ending their legal use in voting. By the early 1970s, these clauses had largely been phased out across the United States.
