The 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution was not written by a single individual but was the result of a collective effort by Congress during the Reconstruction era. It was proposed by Congress in 1869 and ratified in 1870. The amendment aimed to grant African American men the right to vote, prohibiting the federal and state governments from denying this right based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Key figures involved in its passage included politicians like Representative John B. Lynch and Senator Charles Sumner.
