Question 5 • United States History

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

Answer
A
first-class railroad tickets
B
poll taxes
C
racially segregated hospitals
D
racially segregated schools

Explanation

The Fifteenth Amendment aimed to protect citizens’ right to vote from being denied or restricted because of race. Poll taxes made voting harder and were used to keep many Black citizens from the polls, so they violated the amendment’s intent. Segregated schools and hospitals were discriminatory, but they did not directly restrict voting rights.
