The Fourteenth Amendment dealt with voting rights for blacks by empowering Congress to reduce their representation if they failed to give all males, regardless of race, suffrage. The amendment reversed the court's prior stance in the Dred Scott decision by identifying black people as citizens of the United States and therefore, entitled to all of the rights of citizenship.
