Grandfather Clause
if the person's grandfather was a free man and they could prove it
Poll taxes, literacy tests, and grandfather clauses were discriminatory practices used primarily in the Southern United States to disenfranchise African American voters after the Reconstruction era. Poll taxes required individuals to pay a fee to vote, which many African Americans could not afford. Literacy tests were often unfairly administered, targeting Black voters with complex questions designed to confuse and disqualify them. Grandfather clauses allowed individuals to bypass these restrictions only if their ancestors had voted before the Civil War, effectively excluding descendants of enslaved people from voting.
Yes, NAPLAN (National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy) is compulsory for students in Australia in Years 3, 5, 7, and 9. Schools are required to administer the tests, and while students can be exempted under certain circumstances, participation is generally expected. The assessments help measure student progress in literacy and numeracy across the country.
Grandfather clauses were provisions in laws that exempted individuals or entities from certain regulations based on prior conditions or statuses. A notable example is the grandfather clauses implemented in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States, which allowed individuals to bypass literacy tests and poll taxes if their ancestors had the right to vote before the Civil War. This effectively disenfranchised many African American voters while preserving voting rights for white citizens.

In some historical contexts, such as the United States before the 15th Amendment, certain states implemented "grandfather clauses" that allowed white males to vote if their ancestors had been eligible to vote before the Civil War, regardless of their current literacy or tax status. This effectively exempted them from restrictions that disenfranchised other groups, particularly Black citizens. Additionally, some states employed practices like literacy tests that were selectively enforced, ensuring that white voters were less likely to be challenged than their non-white counterparts. These measures were part of broader systemic efforts to maintain white supremacy in the electoral process.
