a b c or d
Based on the options you provided, the correct answer would be option C: "A male citizen of any race can vote." This describes the 15th Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits denial of the right to vote based on race or color.
The correct answer is "A male citizen of any race can vote." This describes one of the amendments to the Constitution about who can vote. To determine this answer, we can review the amendments to the Constitution that address suffrage rights.
The first amendment that granted voting rights was the 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870. It states that the right to vote shall not be denied on the basis of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. This amendment ensured that male citizens of any race could vote.
Other amendments that address voting rights include the 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920, which granted women the right to vote, and the 26th Amendment, ratified in 1971, which lowered the voting age to 18.
The other options provided in the question are not accurate descriptions of the amendments. Members of Congress are eligible to vote in congressional elections, but there are restrictions on state officials serving as electors in the Electoral College. Citizens living abroad may still be eligible to vote, depending on their state's laws and the extent to which they maintain residency ties. Lastly, there is no constitutional requirement for every citizen to vote; voting is a right that citizens have the freedom to exercise or not exercise.
