The statement that best explains the reason Congress passed the Fifteenth Amendment is:
to protect the ability of Freedmen to participate in choosing a government through voting.
The Fifteenth Amendment, ratified in 1870, specifically aimed to ensure that citizens could not be denied the right to vote based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude, thereby helping to secure voting rights for Freedmen in the post-Civil War United States.
