Answer:

Fifteenth amendment is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fifteenth amendment denies the state government and federal government from denying the citizens their right to vote on the basis of their colour or race. It was ratified as third and last amendment of the reconstruction era on February 3, 1870.This amendment was important because it gave the African Americans the right to vote and also enabled them to elected for the public office. Even thought the fifteenth amendment protected African Americans voting rights, the southern states enacted laws to prevent them from voting.

The correct answer is: "fifteenth amendment"

The 15th Amendment to the US Constitution was enacted in 1970, becoming the third amendment that was issued during the Reconstruction era. It states that the US federal goverment cannot (or any state goverment) prevent any citizen from exercising their right to vote due to discrimination in terms of "race, color or previous condition of servitude".
