The 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1870, prohibits the federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." It was a significant step in the Reconstruction era aimed at ensuring African American men could participate in the electoral process. However, despite its provisions, various discriminatory practices were employed to circumvent its protections for decades.
