Which explains why the 14th Amendment did not protect against Jim Crow laws? The amendment forbade African Americans from becoming citizens and made them susceptible to unfair treatment. The amendment prohibited state governments, not individuals and businesses, from discriminating against African Americans. The amendment pointed out that the Constitution is not color-blind and favors the advancement of certain races. The amendment declared that separate but equal facilities are against the laws established in the Constitution.
hmm let me check
which one do you think is correct?
I think its A but im not sure
The 14th amendment couldn't stop people from treating black people unfairly
the correct answer is B
which is why there were "separate but equal" issues and such in public and privately owned facilities
not to mention sit-ins in diners, etc
yep
its not a because they didnt stop them from becoming a citizen
at that time they had pretty much quit racial injustice.
Thank you sooooo much. I had a hard time with that one
B
