The Reconstruction Amendments—specifically the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments—were designed to secure rights for newly freed African Americans. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, ensuring freedom from involuntary servitude. The 14th Amendment granted citizenship and equal protection under the law, aiming to safeguard against discrimination and ensure legal rights. Lastly, the 15th Amendment aimed to protect the voting rights of African American men, prohibiting the denial of suffrage based on race.
The Fourteenth Amendment, which guaranteed citizenship and equal protection under the law, was designed to protect the rights of newly freed African Americans following the Civil War. Later, other groups, such as Mexican Americans and Asian Americans, cited the Fourteenth Amendment in important court cases to argue for their right to equal protection under the law.

The US Supreme Court uses "Selective Incorporation" to apply individual clauses within the Bill of Rights to the States via the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process or Equal Protection Clauses.Some historians hold that the 14th Amendment required states to adhere to the Bill of Rights, in toto, while others claim the individual amendments were designed to be incorporated selectively.Total or Mechanical Incorporation (sometimes also called complete incorporation), the method championed by Justice Hugo Black, would have used the Fourteenth Amendment to apply the entire Bill of Rights to the States at one time. The US Supreme Court has chosen to use "selective incorporation," however. The principle of selective incorporation upholds or rejects as inapplicable individual clauses within each Amendment when they are considered relevant to a case before the Court.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution, passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, by the House on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865, abolished slavery as a legal institution. The Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution was passed by both houses on 8th June and the 13th June, 1866. The amendment was designed to grant citizenship to and protect the civil liberties of recently freed slaves. It did this by prohibiting states from denying or abridging the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, depriving any person of his life, liberty, or property without due process of law, or denying to any person within their jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. The 15th Amendment to the Constitution granted African American men the right to vote by declaring that the "right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
