Question
The Fifteenth Amendment excluded which group? Group of answer choicesWomenAfrican AmericansChineseNaive Americans
Solution
The Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1870, did not exclude African Americans, Chinese, or Native Americans. Instead, it granted African American men the right to vote by declaring that the "right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
However, it did not extend this right to women. Therefore, the group excluded by the Fifteenth Amendment was women.
