In what year was the 15th Amendment ratified?

• A. 1865
• B. 1870
• C. 1882
• D. 1898

Answer: (D)

The 15th Amendment was ratified in 1870, during the Reconstruction era, extending voting rights to Black men and preventing denial of the vote based on race or color or previous condition of servitude. This date reflects when enough states had approved the amendment to make it part of the Constitution. It’s part of the sequence after the 13th Amendment (which ended slavery) and the 14th Amendment (which defined citizenship and equal protection). The other years listed correspond to different events or amendments, not the ratification of this one.
