Ohio Government/Constitution Practice Exam

Which year's Constitution abolished poll taxes?

1. 1802

2. 1851

3. 1900

4. 1950

The correct answer is: 1851

The correct answer is B 1851. The poll tax was abolished by the Twenty-Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which was ratified in 1964. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they are either too early or too late for this constitutional amendment. Option A, 1802, predates the ratification of the Constitution itself, while option C, 1900, is over 40 years too late. Option D, 1950, is also too late, as the Twenty-Fourth Amendment was not ratified until 1964.
