The 15th Amendment, granting African-American men the right to vote, was formally adopted into the U.S. Constitution on March 30, 1870. Passed by Congress the year before, the amendment reads: “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.” Despite the amendment, by the late 1870s, various discriminatory practices were used to prevent African Americans from exercising their right to vote, especially in the South. After decades of discrimination, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 aimed to overcome legal barriers at the state and local levels that denied blacks their right to vote under the 15th Amendment.

Why is it critical to add the bill of rights to the US constitution?

Amanda [17]

Options:

A) The state and federal governments would not have been able to coexist.
B) People were concerned that the government would infringe on individual freedoms.
C) Local governments were worried that they wouldn't have any power.
 D) There was a need for each branch of government to "check" the others.

The answer is option B "People were concerned that the government would infringe on individual freedoms." The bill of rights are article's that give people there induvial rights and so people thought that the government would change those rights therefore changing laws that had to be followed. Bill of rights contain amendments that could not be change said but the original founding fathers of our country. Even though they can't, it's still possible.

Hope this helps!
