15th Amendment: Voting is for All

What They Say: 

SECTION 1

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

SECTION 2

The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.


What We Say: If you are a U.S. Citizen, you can vote. 




This amendment was created to include those of color in voting. Now it includes people of every race and gender.
