4. Which Constitutional amendments gave black Americans the right to citizenship, equal protections, and the right to vote? Fourteenth and Fifteenth Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth Sixteenth and Eighteenth Eleventh and Twelfth

Answer 1

The correct answer is 'Fourteenth and Fifteenth'.

Answer 2

## Step 1The question is asking about the Constitutional amendments that gave black Americans the right to citizenship, equal protections, and the right to vote. ## Step 2The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, adopted in 1868, granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, including former slaves, and provided all citizens with “equal protection under the laws.” This amendment was a significant step towards ensuring equal rights for black Americans.## Step 3The Fifteenth Amendment, ratified in 1870, prohibited the federal government and each state from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." This amendment was a crucial step towards ensuring the right to vote for black Americans.## Step 4The other options, Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth, Sixteenth and Eighteenth, and Eleventh and Twelfth, do not pertain to the rights of black Americans in the context of citizenship, equal protections, and the right to vote.
