The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, prohibited states from denying the right to vote on the basis of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. The Fifteenth Amendment, ratified in 1870, extended voting rights to African American men. Therefore, before the ratification of these two amendments, each state was able to determine who was eligible to vote, which often resulted in discrimination against minority groups.
