    13th, 14th and 15th amendment failed the African Americans' rights because it wasn't enacted properly.

    Explanation:

    The 13th, 14th and 15th amendment was meant to safeguard the rights of African Americans. The 13th amendment was ratified in 1865 and it abolished slavery. 14th amendment in 1868 provided citizenship to the blacks and offered then equal protection by the law.

    15th amendment in 1870 granted voting rights to African Americans. The Supreme Court failed to safeguard the rights offered by these rulings. The court later ruled that the government doesn't have the right to grant equal protection by the law mentioned in the 14th amendment and it was the duty of state and local governments.

    Such failures of the Supreme Court left the rights of African Americans unprotected for very many years.
