Question

How did the Nineteenth Amendment affect citizenship in the United States? It expanded the definition of citizenship to include formerly enslaved people.

Answer 1

Several constitutional amendments (the 15th, 19th and 26th specifically) require that balloting rights of US residents can't be abridged because of race, color, proceeding situation of servitude, gender, or age (18 and older); the charter as it was written in the beginning did not set up these kinds of rights.
