question 3 of 25
the photo below is a receipt issued by the state of texas.
image of a poll tax receipt from 1931
how did taxes like the one shown above impact american society?

• reduced influence of state governments in election laws
• expanded participation of immigrants in the political process
• increased federal protection of voting rights for all citizens
• decreased voting participation of african american and poor citizens

Explanation:

The image shows a 1931 Texas poll tax receipt. Poll taxes were a tool used in the Southern U.S. to disenfranchise low-income citizens, including many African Americans, as they required payment to vote, creating a financial barrier to participation. The other options are incorrect: poll taxes increased state control over elections, restricted immigrant participation, and did not involve federal voting rights protection.

Answer:

Decreased voting participation of African American and poor citizens
