- Poll Taxes
- On August 27th 1962, the 24th Amendment was passed. States were no longer allowed to implement a poll tax for voters. Poll taxes are fees that citizens have to pay in order to vote. Because of this, many poor Americans were unable to vote. Now, poor and disenfranchised citizens were able to vote for politicians that would help fight for more economic opportunities to break the cycle of poverty.

This law officially made it possible for more citizens to have a voice in their government as physical limitations had previously prevented some from being able to vote.
