Williams v. Mississippi, 170 U.S. 213, is a United States Supreme Court case that reviewed provisions of the 1890 Mississippi constitution and its statues that set requirements for voter registration. In Williams v. Mississippi (1898) the US Supreme Court upheld the poll tax, disenfranchisement clauses, literacy tests, and the grandfather clause, all of which were features of the 1890 Mississippi Constitution and statutes. In doing so, the Court added Williams to a line of cases including Plessy v.
