The Twenty-Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution was crafted and proposed in Congress, primarily in the context of civil rights and voting access. It was officially adopted on January 23, 1964, prohibiting the use of poll taxes in federal elections. The amendment aimed to eliminate financial barriers that disproportionately affected African American voters and poor citizens. Its passage was part of the broader movement to secure voting rights during the Civil Rights era.
