This clause has been the basis for much of the movement towards equal rights for blacks, women, gay people, etc. The 15th Amendment has been used to protect the voting rights of minorities from being diluted either explicitly or through more circuitous means (U.S. History.Org, 1995-2011).

The reasons for their opposition are various but they all generally agree on a few key points: policies enacted since the 1970s are out of date, they no longer work, and have outlived their purpose. Many of the critics who accept these ideas are of a more conservative bent, and view Affirmative Action policies as wrong-minded for the way in which they privilege a person’s identity status (in terms of race, gender, ethnicity or some other marker) over their merit.
