The Fifteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution states: "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."
Anthony would have preferred that the Fifteenth Amendment explicitly grant women the right to vote, but she argued that since she, as a woman, had been in a condition of servitude also, the Amendment gave her and other woman the right to vote also. She attempted to vote based on this argument but was arrested for violating the law.
