Question

1. choose the best answer.

the right of all american citizens to vote was guaranteed by the ____ in 1870.
○ fifteenth amendment
○ enforcement acts
○ civil rights act of 1866
○ tenure of office act

Explanation:

The Fifteenth 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 that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." The Enforcement Acts were laws passed to enforce the rights granted by the Reconstruction Amendments (including the Fifteenth Amendment), but they are not the amendment itself that guarantees the right to vote. The Civil Rights Act of 1866 was mainly about citizenship and equal rights for African - Americans, not specifically about voting rights. The Tenure of Office Act was about the removal of federal officials, not related to voting rights.

Answer:

Fifteenth Amendment
