Amendment XXIV

"1: the right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative of Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.

2: The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

The twenty fourth amendment protects a citizens right to vote by making it illegal for the federal government or the state government to impose any kind of tax on voting.

This comic illustrates the future that this amendment was designed to avoid. It made the idea of a poll tax illegal so that people could not use voting as a tool for only the wealthy and limit its access.

Continuing on from the first image, this picture helps to illustrate the amount of people that would be left unable to participate in their political decisions if a poll tax was enacted.
