Holy shit you're a moron.
The 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (ratified in 1870) states "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." Giving all races the right to vote.
The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (ratified in 1920) gives women the right to vote.
So maybe you should actually do some research before calling someone stupid.

The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees everyone a fair trial, but what happens if your trial is unfair?
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of credible studies and statistics that show there is bias and flaws in the U.S. justice system. For example, an investigation by the U.S. Sentencing Commission found that black men, on average, receive 20% longer prison sentences than white men. A study from the University of Michigan's law school found that men, on average, receive 63% longer prison sentences than women and that "women are twice as likely to avoid incarceration if convicted." Lastly, a study by Cornell University found that conventionally unattractive defendants received, on average, prison sentences 22 months longer than "good-looking defendants." These are just three examples, out of the hundreds of others, to show there is no such thing as a fair trial.
If you cannot get a fair trial, which the Fifth Amendment guarantees you should, what happens? Do you just get to go free? Do all criminals get to go free? Or does the justice system turn a blind eye and punish you anyways? This a question I've been wondering about for over a year, but I can't find any answers to it on Google.
