{"product_id":"the-fifteenth-amendment-warrior","title":"The Fifteenth Amendment Warrior","description":"The Fifteenth Amendment guarantees that the right to vote shall not be denied or abridged on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. From the day of its ratification in 1870 to the present, this guarantee has been resisted, circumvented, judicially narrowed, and politically attacked in ways that have kept millions of Americans from exercising the most fundamental right of democratic citizenship. The constitutional warrior who fights for voting rights must know both the promise of the Fifteenth Amendment and the obstacles the law has erected against it. \n\nThe Fifteenth Amendment Warrior: The Complete Guide to Voting Rights, Racial Disenfranchisement, Electoral Justice, and the Constitutional Guarantee of Equal Suffrage is Volume XVI of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series — the complete practitioner's guide to voting rights doctrine in the post-Shelby County landscape. \n\nWayne Richard Evangelista covers the full voting rights landscape: the history of disenfranchisement from the Grandfather Clause through the white primary to modern suppression techniques; the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and its Section 2 and Section 5 framework; Shelby County v. Holder's elimination of preclearance and the fight to restore it; Brnovich v. DNC's restriction of Section 2; Allen v. Milligan's revival of racial gerrymandering claims; photo ID requirements and the Crawford balancing framework; voter roll purges; polling place restrictions; felon disenfranchisement; and the complete arsenal of constitutional and statutory tools for contemporary voting rights litigation. \n\nFor every election lawyer, civil rights practitioner, and advocate for democratic equality, this is the essential guide to the right without which no other right can be secured.","brand":"Constitutional Law Series","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55694145126473,"sku":"4mzpv5","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/0896\/4937\/files\/w42mqzm-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1779317218","url":"https:\/\/constitutionallawseries.myshopify.com\/products\/the-fifteenth-amendment-warrior","provider":"Constitutional Law Series","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
