question 19 (multiple choice worth 4 points) (02 06 mc) after the bill of rights, later amendments to the constitution have affected americans participation in government by placing limits on who is eligible to be a u.s. citizen ensuring that more groups of u.s. citizens can vote increasing the number of people elected to federal offices limiting the methods the states can use to run elections
The 15th Amendment (1870) prohibited racial discrimination in voting, the 19th Amendment (1920) gave women the right to vote, the 24th Amendment (1964) abolished poll - taxes which restricted low - income people's voting rights, and the 26th Amendment (1971) lowered the voting age to 18. These amendments expanded the franchise, allowing more groups of U.S. citizens to vote. The other options are incorrect: Amendments after the Bill of Rights did not limit U.S. citizenship eligibility in a way that affected participation (the 14th Amendment actually defined citizenship more broadly in some ways). They did not increase the number of federal offices (the number of offices is mainly determined by government structure and need, not amendments). And while there are some federal regulations on elections, the main impact of post - Bill of Rights amendments on participation was through expanding the vote, not limiting state election methods in a way that enhanced participation.
