After a quick Google search I think they are:
13th: No slavery except as punishment for crime
14th: Everyone born in the USA is granted citizenship (also for former slaves)
15th: Everyone has the right to vote

I don’t get the use of color. Are they trying to imply that Republicans are protecting the constitution from democrats who want to undo this 13th-15th, and the 2nd (the only amendment any republican ever talks about) is just the wedge issue to get started?
