1] Is the 15th amendment and voting act the same? Explain?
I believe that these two are the same. The reason is because these two events allowed people to vote. These are both similar and help in the same way.
I like your detail good job you hit the question right in the bulls eye.

These two amendments are connected in a main way. These two are connected because they contradict each other. The 14th amendment denies black people the ability to vote. The 15th amendment allows blacks to vote, going against the 14th amendment.
I like your detail and I like your reasoning and how you used complete sentences.
3] What are one similarities and one difference in both the 15thamendment and `14th amendment?
Similarity: Both these amendments focus on the ability to let black people vote.
