15th Amendment One of the three “Civil War” amendments, it was passed in 1870 to ensure that no citizen would ever again be denied the “right to vote based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” This is one of the popular sovereignty amendments because it protects the right to vote.
19th Amendment This amendment is also a popular sovereignty amendment because it gives the right to vote to women. Women have only had the right to vote since the year 1920, and they had to work hard to ensure that right. The women who worked for the right to vote were called suffragettes.
23rd Amendment
The people who live within the boundaries of our national capital, Washington, DC were denied the right to vote because they did not reside in a State in the United States. Finally, in 1961 the citizens of the area were allowed to vote for President and Vice President. The first time they could vote was in the 1964 election.
