During Reconstruction in the 19th century, key constitutional issues included the status of the Southern states after the Civil War, the extent of federal authority in enforcing civil rights, and the legality of the Reconstruction Amendments (13th, 14th, and 15th) which aimed to abolish slavery and guarantee citizenship and voting rights for African Americans. Debates arose over whether Congress or the President held the authority to determine the terms for re-admitting Southern states into the Union. Additionally, the interpretation of the 14th Amendment's due process and equal protection clauses became foundational in the struggle for civil rights during this period.
