The Fifteenth Amendment, ratified in 1870, prohibits states from denying the vote to any male citizen based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Its main goal was to protect voting rights for African American men after the Civil War. The amendment, however, did not address the rights of women or other marginalized groups effectively.
