Southern states implemented literacy tests as part of their voter registration processes, which required individuals to read and explain sections of the constitution. These tests were designed to disenfranchise Black voters and poor white voters, often being administered subjectively and discriminatorily. The practice was a key component of Jim Crow laws aimed at maintaining racial segregation and suppressing African American political power.
