Fourteenth Amendment Granted citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States” Meant to give former slaves citizenship No state can deprive any person of life, liberty, and property without due process of law Problem: Supreme Court ruled the Amendment did not extend the Bill of Rights to the states Ratified by 28 of the 37 states

Fifteenth Amendment Gave all African American males the right to vote African Americans held office in Southern states throughout 1880s but by 1890s, steps were taken for “white supremacy” Disenfranchised anyone whose ancestors did not vote 1896 – Plessy v. Ferguson ruled “separate but equal” facilities for the races were legal “Jim Crow” segregation took hold in many states

Seventeenth Amendment Popular election of Senators by the people Before the amendment was passed, the state legislators would appoint Senators to 6 year terms Would give the people the ability to elect all their representatives

Nineteenth Amendment Gave all American women the right to vote Beginning in the 1800s, women organized, petitioned, and picketed to win the right to vote, but it took them decades to accomplish 18 August 1920 – Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment

Twenty-Fourth Amendment Made poll taxes and other taxes used to keep African Americans from voting illegal Done to defend the spirit of the fifteenth amendment Backed up by the Voting Rights Act (1965) signed into law by Lyndon B. Johnson

Twenty-Sixth Amendment Gave the right to vote to 18 year olds Ratified on 1 July 1971 Shortest ratification period in U.S. history “Old enough to fight, old enough to vote” Ended a debate that started during World War II but intensified during the Vietnam War Draft helped
