34 G] As to the effect of the Amendment upon State control of political franchises. Mr Jus- tice Strong said: "Within the limits from which it is not ex- cluded by the Amendment, a state may prescribe the qualifica- tions, and in so doing make discriminations. It may confine the selection to males, to freeholders, to citizens, to persons within certain ages or to persons having educational qualifications. " [100 U. S. 310] If therefore an educational qualification be for " the freedom of electi...ons and the purity of the ballot box, " as the Tennessee court says, then it is a " reasonable qualification of voters, " within the rule of the Supreme Court, and justified by the general legislative power of the state. [133 U. S. 346] If states adopt age, sex, property or educational qualifications, the validity of the law can not be questioned. And further, if they embody such quali- fications in their constitutions and make them an essential and vital part of their "manner of holding elections, " it is a politi- cal act, vested solely within their legislative discretion, valid, unquestionable, and must so stand without appeal.
