The 14th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified on July 9. 1868 and granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, which included former slaves recently freed. In addition, it forbids states from denying any person from life, liberty, or property, without due process of law or to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. By directly mentioning the role of the states, the 14th Amendment greatly expanded the protection of civil rights to All Americans and is cited in more litigation than any other amendemnt.
