Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Fourteenth Amendment did not explicitly give black men the right to vote. However, it did provide for the reduction of a state's representation in Congress if it denied suffrage to any male adult inhabitants. This provision indirectly pushed states to grant the right to vote to Black men in order to avoid losing representation in Congress. The Fifteenth Amendment, ratified in 1870, explicitly prohibited denying the right to vote on the basis of race or color.
