Secondly, it prohibited state and local governments from depriving persons of life, liberty, and property without due process of law.

Answer 6

The 14th Amendment did many things.

First, it established naturalism, which is the idea that everyone born in the United States (or to American parents) are citizens of the United States. By this time, most African Americans were born in the United States, so they were made citizens.

Second, it forced the local governments to abide by the Bill of Rights. Before the 14th Amendment, the Bill of Rights only limited the federal government, so the state and local governments were capable of violating a citizen's rights. The 14th Amendment made it so the Bill of Rights regulates federal, state, and local governments.

Short

• It gave African Americans citizenship.
• It gave African Americans protection from local government (at least on paper).
