Grandfather Clause
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.
The Grandfather clock got its name from a popular song titled "My Grandfather's Clock," written by Henry Clay Work in 1876. The song tells the story of a tall case clock that belonged to the narrator's grandfather and chimed every hour until its owner passed away. The term "grandfather clock" subsequently became widely used to describe tall, freestanding clocks with pendulums, reflecting their association with family heritage and tradition.
