The most accurate comparison of amendments from your provided statements is:

"The Twenty-Fifth Amendment relates to presidential disability and succession. The Twenty-Second Amendment relates to presidential terms."

Here's a brief explanation for clarification:

  • The Nineteenth Amendment grants women the right to vote, while the Fourteenth Amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection (it does not establish income tax).
  • The Sixteenth Amendment allows Congress to levy an income tax, not related to voting rights. The Twenty-Fifth Amendment deals with presidential succession and disability, not presidential terms.
  • The Fourteenth Amendment relates to civil rights and liberties, while the Fifteenth Amendment prohibits denying the right to vote based on race (it does not prohibit slavery, which was addressed by the Thirteenth Amendment).

Thus, the third statement is the most accurate.
