Answer 2

The correct answer is: "the Fourteenth Amendment"

The Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution was enacted in 1868, during the Reconstruction Era. Its most important consequence was that it ensures citizenship and equal protection by laws to all US citizens, without discrimination in terms of race. It was proposed to respond to the need of regulating the status of former slaves.
