The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is not currently part of the U.S. Constitution. It aimed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex and was first proposed in 1923.

The goal of the 14th Amendment was to grant citizenship and equal protection under the law to all individuals born or naturalized in the United States. The Civil Rights Act of 1866 aimed to provide rights and protections to African Americans in the aftermath of the Civil War, ensuring equal treatment in civil rights and property rights.
Justice Harlan interpreted the 14th Amendment, particularly the Equal Protection Clause, as providing equal rights and protections to all individuals, regardless of race. He believed that the Amendment's language of "equal protection of the laws" required the government to treat all citizens equally under the law, and he strongly opposed any form of segregation or discrimination based on race. Justice Harlan's interpretation was influential in several important civil rights cases, including Plessy v. Ferguson and the Civil Rights Cases.
