Question

what were the outcomes of the ratification of the fifteenth amendment? check all that apply. equal voting rights were upheld constitutionally. the right to vote was expanded to more americans. all americans became able to vote without limitations. african americans became less involved in congress. southern lawmakers created poll taxes and literacy tests in response.

Explanation:

• The Fifteenth Amendment prohibited denying the right to vote based on race, color, or previous servitude. So "Equal voting rights were upheld constitutionally" is correct as it was a constitutional guarantee.
• "The right to vote was expanded to more Americans" (specifically African American men) is correct as it expanded voting rights.
• "All Americans became able to vote without limitations" is incorrect because women and others still faced restrictions, and Southern states later imposed poll taxes and literacy tests.
• "African Americans became less involved in Congress" is incorrect; in fact, some African Americans were elected to Congress after the amendment.
• "Southern lawmakers created poll taxes and literacy tests in response" is correct as a way to circumvent the amendment and restrict African American voting.

A. Equal voting rights were upheld constitutionally.
