Answer 1

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States America allows voting rights to all male citizens of the United States 21 years of age or older and it also allowed former slaves to be naturalized as citizens of the United States, while the 15th amendment clarified that yes, African Americans are part of the male citizens that can vote. It also defines due process under the law which allows fair treatment under the judicial system for all U.S. citizens.

This amendment was created along with the 13th amendment and the 15th amendment, which abolished slavery and gave African Americans the right to vote respectively. This came after the Civil War which was fought over slavery. These amendments helped the former slaves be integrated into American society, which was a crucial step in eradicating systemic racism in the United States.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
