Answer

Brief Explanations:

The Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1870, prohibits the federal government and states from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." So, after its ratification, voting rights could not be denied based on race. The right to vote not being denied based on gender was addressed by the Nineteenth Amendment. Poll taxes and literacy tests were later addressed by the Twenty - Fourth Amendment and the Voting Rights Act (and related court decisions), not the Fifteenth Amendment.
