Question

Which of the following gives citizens the right to vote no matter their race or color?

Answer 1

Answer:

D.The Fifteenth Amendment

Explanation:

The Fifteenth Amendment states:

• "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."

The Amendment was introduced in 1870, although racist practices that prevented many Afro-American people to vote were practices even after the constitution made the legal prohibition of that, especially in the South.

Finally, in 1965, the Voting Rights Act made all it completely illegal to deny the right of voting to any African-American citizen.
