    Answer: The 15th Amendment hinders the Federal government and states from denying people the right to vote as a result of their color or race.

    Explanation:

    The 15th Amendment hinders the Federal government and states from denying people the right to vote as a result of their color or race. The 15th Amendment allowed African Americans to vote.

    Towards the end of the civil war, the Congress continuously debated on the rights of blacks. Amendments were passed to eradicate slavery and give equal protection and citizenship to everyone regardless of their race or color.

    On February 26, 1869, the Congress proposed an amendment that banned franchise restrictions due to color, race or previous servitude and the amendment became part of the Constitution of the United States on the 30th of March, 1870.
