Answer 1

Voting rights have evolved over time, starting with early laws that restricted voting to wealthy white men. Key milestones include the 15th Amendment in 1870, which granted African American men the right to vote, and the 19th Amendment in 1920, which gave women the right to vote, culminating in the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that aimed to eliminate racial discrimination in voting.
