The 14 amendment.
The extension of Roman citizenship was one of the ways that Rome gained territory or "conquered". It gave the territories the protection and benefits of Rome and in turn Rome had strong, loyal allies.

The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment.
the Civil Rights Amendments (13th,14th, and 15th) guarenteed an end to slavery, all people born in the United States or naturalized there are given full citizenship, and finally, the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied on the basis of race.
It gave full citizenship to all people born in the Unites States. Because most African Americans were American born, they became full citizens. The amendment also required every state to grant its citizens "equal protection of the laws."
The Fourteenth Amendmeant granted full citizenship to all born in the U.S. no matter what race, ethnic background or previous family births. The opening sentence of the Fourteenth Amendment is both sweeping and clear: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
