Please give me three examples of methods used to keep blacks from voting.

1.  Literacy Test

2.  Property Ownership

3.  Grandfather Clause

Explanation:

Three examples of methods used to keep blacks (African Americans) from voting include the following:

1.  Literacy Test- due to a high level of illiteracy among the African-Americans at the time, the majority of them were restricted in the electoral process, while it paves the way for poor whites to vote

2. Property Ownership- this is a means to restrict African American's participation in electoral processes, as it gave the poor whites to the opportunity to vote; while many African-American were disallowed or heavily restricted to own property, due to exorbitant clause of having ownership of least $100 worth of property

3. Grandfather Clause- this is one of the ridiculous means to deny majority if not all African Americans at the time to participate in voting, as it translates to the eligible voter, to have a grandfather voted before 1870 when it is obvious that fewer or no African American can meet the condition when the 15th amendment was passed.

`stare decisis is a legal doctrine that obligates courts to follow historical cases when making a ruling on a similar current or future case. stare decisis ensures that cases with identical facts be approached in the same way, unless overruled by the same court or a higher court such as the us supreme court. simply put, it binds courts to follow legal precedents set by previous decisions.

stare decisis is a latin term meaning "to stand by that which is decided".
