Twenty-fourth Amendment

Twenty-fourth Amendment
Двадцать четвертая поправка (к Конституции)
Ратифицирована в 1964, запретила вводить какие-либо налоги, связанные с участием населения в выборах в федеральные органы государственной власти США, а также отказывать в праве голоса при неуплате какого-либо избирательного или иного налога. Хотя только в пяти штатах - Алабаме, Арканзасе, Вирджинии, Миссисипи и Техасе - существовал к этому времени подушный налог, поправка в принципе запретила его введение. Поправка касалась только выборов в федеральные органы власти, однако Верховный суд [Supreme Court, U.S.] в решении по делу "Харпер против избирательной комиссии штата Вирджиния" [Harper v. Virginia State Board of Elections] (1966) признал неконституционным введение такого налога и при выборах в органы власти штата, сославшись на Четырнадцатую поправку [Fourteenth Amendment], содержащую положение о равной защите на основе законов. Двадцать четвертая поправка привела к принятию Закона об избирательном праве 1965 года [Voting Rights Act of 1965]
