Generally, the Bill of Rights and Bill-of-Rights-type Amendments have been conceptualized as recognizing rather than cognizing or granting rights.
U.S. Const., Amend. XV:
"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."
It is true that Amendment XIV was regarded as having failed to interpose sufficiently so as to ensure suffrage to African-Americans, which was then the impetus for Amendment XV. Amendments XIII, XIV and XV, the Civil War Amendments, outlawed slavery, inter alia granted citizenship to African-Americans, and enfranchised them.

What is the significance of the nineteenth amendment to the Us. constitution?
Ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted American women the right to vote-a right known as woman suffrage. At the time the U.S. was founded, its female citizens did not share all of the same rights as men, including the right to vote. It was not until 1848 that the movement for women's rights launched on a national level with a convention in Seneca Falls, New York, organized by abolitionists Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902) and Lucretia Mott (1793-1880). Following the convention, the demand for the vote became a centerpiece of the women's rights movement. Stanton and Mott, along with Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) and other activists, formed organizations that raised public awareness and lobbied the government to grant voting rights to women. After a 70-year battle, these groups finally emerged victorious with the passage of the 19th Amendment.

What 6 amendments deal with expanding voting rights?
There are only 3 amendments dealing with suffrage: the 15th, 19th, and the 26th. The 15th amendment gave voting rights to all male citizens, the 19th amendment gave all women the right to vote, and the 26th amendment changed the voting age from 21 to 18. Technically, as the 14th Amendment defines citizenship, it also affects suffrage, as only citizens are allowed to vote. Also, the 24th Amendment forbids poll taxes (and similar items), which were used to disenfranchise many poorer blacks (even though they technically had the right to vote, they couldn't meet the "other" requirements set out by Jim Crow laws). While the 13th Amendment outlaws slavery, it does not have anything specific with suffrage (it does not grant suffrage to anyone - even though it outlawed slavery, without the 15th to grant citizenship, the 13th does not give anyone voting rights).
