The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments primarily benefit marginalized groups, particularly African Americans, by securing their rights to citizenship, equal protection under the law, and voting. The Fourteenth Amendment addresses issues of equality and due process, while the Fifteenth Amendment specifically prohibits the denial of voting rights based on race. These amendments collectively aimed to dismantle institutional discrimination and promote civil rights in the post-Civil War United States. Ultimately, they serve as crucial protections for all individuals seeking equality and justice.

If your client is claiming that the government is violating her Fourteenth Amendment rights, you would begin by researching her case to see if the Fourteenth Amendment applies. If it does not apply, you would explain to your client that the Fourteenth Amendment does not apply to her because she is a naturalized citizen rather than a U.S. citizen from birth. If the Fourteenth Amendment does apply, you would file a motion for a mistrial based on violation of the Constitution.
