History/context:
The Bill of Rights is what we call the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution. The US Constitution was ratified in 1788. The Bill of Rights was created in 1789 and ratified in 1791.
The 14th Amendment applied the Bill of Rights to the laws of all states in the Union. The 14th Amendment guaranteed rights to life, liberty and property to all citizens born in the United States -- including those who formerly were slaves in states in the South. The amendment was ratified in 1868, following the Civil War, and was one of three amendments (XIII, XIV, XV) which were aimed at making black Americans full citizens of the USA. The full text of the 14th Amendment stated:
- All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
