Twenty-fourth Amendment

Read a random definition: chivalry

A quick definition of Twenty-fourth Amendment:

The Twenty-fourth Amendment is a rule that was added to the United States Constitution in 1964. It says that no one can be stopped from voting in a national election just because they didn't pay a tax called a poll tax or any other tax. This means that everyone has the right to vote, no matter how much money they have.

A more thorough explanation:

The Twenty-fourth Amendment is a change to the United States Constitution that was approved in 1964. It makes it illegal for the federal and state governments to prevent someone from voting in a federal election because they didn't pay a poll tax or any other tax.

Before this amendment was passed, some states required people to pay a tax in order to vote. This was unfair because it meant that poor people, who couldn't afford to pay the tax, were not allowed to vote. The Twenty-fourth Amendment made it illegal to use taxes as a way to stop people from voting.

For example, imagine that a state passed a law saying that anyone who didn't pay a $50 tax couldn't vote in the next election. This would be against the Twenty-fourth Amendment because it's not fair to stop someone from voting just because they can't afford to pay a tax.

Another example would be if a person was denied the right to vote because they didn't pay a tax on time. This would also be against the Twenty-fourth Amendment because it's not fair to punish someone for not paying a tax by taking away their right to vote.

Hey just wondering how to filter data by international Gpa? Can't seem to find this filter option
9:40
There’s no intuitive way to do this. The only way I can find is by going to each individual school, scrolling to the part that shows you all applicants for that year, and clicking on the GPA button until it filters them for the blank ones first. I’ve found by clicking on profiles that the ones with an LSAT listed and no GPA are almost universally international
