Answer 1

The group that gained more political participation when amendments were added to the Constitution is primarily **African Americans**. The 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870, gave African American men the right to vote, which was a significant change in political participation for this group. Additionally, the 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920, granted women the right to vote, impacting African American women as well.

While other groups, such as Native Americans, Asian Americans, and Hispanic Americans, have also gained political participation through various legal changes and court rulings over time, the most direct constitutional amendments that expanded voting rights and political participation were primarily focused on African Americans with the 15th Amendment and women in general with the 19th Amendment.

So, the best answer in this context would be **African Americans**.
