3. “Grandfather clauses” began to be adopted in the constitutions of Southern states in 1898. They were disfranchising devices, in that they laid down as necessary to the right of suffrage a list of property, literacy, and character qualifications; and then provided that none of these qualifications need be met by any person who had the right to vote or had an ancestor who had the right to vote at the time of the close of the Civil War. The Supreme Court declared these clauses unconstitutional in 1915.
