D. Women's Rights

I said A

expanding rights

To find the answer to this question, let's first look at the 15th, 19th, and 26th amendments individually to identify their provisions.

The 15th Amendment was ratified in 1870 and granted African American men the right to vote. It aimed to ensure that the right to vote could not be denied on the basis of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

The 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920, granted women the right to vote. Its purpose was to secure the suffrage (voting rights) for women and prevent gender-based voting restrictions.

The 26th Amendment, ratified in 1971, lowered the voting age from 21 to 18. It aimed to address the unfairness of drafting young men into the military during the Vietnam War while not allowing them to vote.

Now that we know what each amendment entails, we can evaluate the options provided.

A. Voting Rights: Both the 15th and 19th amendments directly address voting rights by granting the right to vote to previously excluded groups.

B. Religious Rights: None of the three amendments directly address religious rights, so this option can be excluded.

C. African American Rights: The 15th Amendment specifically addresses African American rights by granting them the right to vote, so this option is relevant.

D. Women's Rights: The 19th Amendment addresses women's rights by granting them the right to vote, making this option valid as well.

Based on the analysis, the common factor among the 15th, 19th, and 26th amendments is A. Voting Rights, as they all expand the right to vote to previously excluded groups (African American men, women, and 18-20-year-olds respectively).

And your answer is?

Yes, A.
