The amendment that specifically addressed voting rights for formerly enslaved individuals is the **Fifteenth Amendment**. Ratified in 1870, it prohibits the federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." However, it's important to note that while the Fifteenth Amendment legally allowed formerly enslaved individuals to vote, various discriminatory practices (like literacy tests and poll taxes) were used to suppress their voting rights for many years thereafter.
