Which of the following directly violated the intent of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution?

The Fifteenth Amendment prohibits denying or restricting a citizen’s right to vote on account of race. Poll taxes were used to keep many Black citizens from voting, so they directly violated the amendment’s intent. Segregated hospitals and schools violated principles of equality but did not directly restrict voting rights; first-class railroad tickets are unrelated.
