1 answer

The 15th, 19th, and 26th Amendments to the United States Constitution all relate to:

A. voting rights.

  • The 15th Amendment (ratified in 1870) prohibits the federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on "race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
  • The 19th Amendment (ratified in 1920) grants women the right to vote, ensuring that voting rights cannot be denied on the basis of sex.
  • The 26th Amendment (ratified in 1971) lowers the voting age to 18 years, ensuring that citizens who are 18 years or older cannot be denied the right to vote based on age.

All three amendments expand access to voting for different groups and address various aspects of voting rights.
