The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, aimed to address the discriminatory practices of the black codes by granting citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, including former enslaved individuals. It also ensured that states could not deny any person equal protection under the law or deprive them of life, liberty, or property without due process. This amendment sought to establish a legal foundation for civil rights and aimed to counteract the restrictive laws that sought to limit the rights of African Americans in the post-Civil War era.

What amendment called black codes?

The Black Codes were laws enacted in the Southern United States after the Civil War, primarily during the Reconstruction era, to restrict the freedom of African Americans and maintain white supremacy. These codes were not directly tied to a specific amendment but were a reaction to the passage of the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery. The 14th and 15th Amendments aimed to grant citizenship and voting rights to African Americans, respectively, leading to further resistance and the implementation of Black Codes to circumvent these legal protections.
