Answer:

It repealed the three-fifths clause.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three-fifths clause counted enslaved people as three-fifths of a person for the purpose of apportioning congressional representation.

The 14th amendment granted citizenship and equal civil and legal rights to African Americans and enslaved people who had been emancipated after the American Civil War.
