Which amendment prohibits denying the right to vote because of race, color, or previous condition of servitude?

• A. 14th
• B. 15th
• C. 16th
• D. 17th

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is protecting the right to vote from racial discrimination. The amendment in question says that the right to vote cannot be denied or abridged on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. It was added after the Civil War during Reconstruction to ensure that newly freed African Americans could participate in elections.

This is the best answer because it directly addresses prohibiting voting denial based on race, which is exactly what the question asks. The other amendments deal with different subjects: one outlines citizenship and equal protection but isn’t solely about voting rights; another sets how federal taxes are collected; and the last changes how senators are chosen.
