The 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1870, prohibits the federal and state governments from denying citizens the right to vote based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. It was part of the Reconstruction Amendments aimed at securing rights for formerly enslaved people after the Civil War. Despite its passage, various discriminatory practices, such as literacy tests and poll taxes, were used to circumvent the amendment's protections for many years.
