The 19th Amendment "gave" women the right to vote, and the Civil Rights
Amendment "gave" blacks the right to vote, which implies that these are
enumerated rights granted by the Constitution, then where does it say that
women and blacks have the right to hold political office?

The word "gave" should be interpreted as "oops, we were wrong..."
