Voting rights have not been established in one amendment.

The number of amendments illustrate tendency by people in power to block voting rights.

1870: 15th amendment prohibits governments from "denying a citizen the right to vote based on color race, or previous condition of servitude."

1920: 19th amendment prohibits governments from 'denying a citizen the right to vote based on sex.'

1964: 24th amendment prohibits a poll tax or other type of tax be required before having the right to vote.

1971: 26th amendment minimum voting age to no more than 18 years of age. This amendment limited rights to vote, and was passed after colleg-age people protested the Vietnam War and practically brought the government down.
