The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, aimed to grant citizenship and equal protection under the law to all individuals born or naturalized in the United States. It sought to address issues of post-Civil War reconstruction, especially regarding the rights of formerly enslaved individuals. Additionally, the amendment aimed to prevent states from denying these rights to any person within their jurisdiction.
