Question

the fifteenth amendment covers which of the following?

a. the right to vote even if you had been a slave

b. the number of people elected to the house of representatives

c. the right to freedom from slavery

d. the right to be a citizen

Explanation:

The Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits 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" (i.e., being a slave). Option A matches this description. Option B is incorrect as the number of House representatives is related to apportionment, not the Fifteenth Amendment. Option C is covered by the Thirteenth Amendment (ending slavery). Option D is covered by the Fourteenth Amendment (defining citizenship).

Answer:

A. The right to vote even if you had been a slave
