Question

The Fifteenth Amendment extended a very important part of citizenship to freed slaves after the Civil War, but fell short of its total goal. Which two later amendments were attempts to extend and protect the rights guaranteed in the Fifteenth Amendment? Choose one answer.
a. Nineteenth and Twenty Sixth
b. Eighteenth and Twenty Fourth
c. Eighteenth and Twenty Fifth
d. Nineteenth and Twenty Fourth

Answer 1

It's definitely not the Eighteenth Amendment  - this Amendment introduced the Prohibition on Alcoholic beverages. This means we can exclude options B and C that include the Eighteenth Amendment.

The correct answer is d. Nineteenth and Twenty Fourth  - the 24th Amendment prohibited denial of voting rights to people who did not pay the poll tax.
