Voting Rights Act of 1965 [SEP] Voter eligibility provisions
Early in the act's enforcement history, the Supreme Court addressed the constitutionality of several provisions relating to voter qualifications and prerequisites to voting. In "Katzenbach v. Morgan" (1966), the court upheld the constitutionality of Section 4(e). This section prohibits jurisdictions from administering literacy tests to citizens who attain a sixth-grade education in an American school in which the predominant language was Spanish, such as schools in Puerto Rico. Although the court had earlier held in "Lassiter v. Northampton County Board of Elections" (1959) that literacy tests did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment, in "Morgan" the court held that Congress could enforce Fourteenth Amendment rights—such as the right to vote—by prohibiting conduct it deemed to interfere with such rights, even if that conduct may not be independently unconstitutional.
