∙ 15y agoThe fifteenth amendment states that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." This basically gave all people equal rights. This had a significant impact because it gaves all blacks the right to vote for the first time. The nineteenth amendment also regards voting rights. It stated that the right to vote "shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of sex." For the first time, women had more of a say in legislation.
