The 14th Amendment (1868) granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the U.S., including formerly enslaved people, and guaranteed equal protection under the law. The 15th Amendment (1870) prohibited federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude, extending voting rights to African American males. The other options are incorrect: the amendments did not revoke presidential veto power, create military districts (that was part of Reconstruction Acts, not these amendments), or relate to the Tenure of Office Act/Johnson's impeachment.
