Answer:

Student answers will vary but should express knowledge of what issues are addressed within each amendment. Despite the Emancipation Proclamation, many Southern states violently resisted equal rights for African Americans. Even after the Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation, freed slaves throughout the South faced discrimination and violence. Hate groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, began to organize,. In 1866 Texas passed the Black Codes, which prohibited blacks from voting and having the same civil rights as white Texans. The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments were passed to protect African American rights and make laws against blacks, unconstitutional.

The Framers added a process for amending, or changing, the Constitution in Article V. Since 1789, the United States has added 27 amendments to the Constitution. ... These first amendments were designed to protect individual rights and liberties, like the right to free speech and the right to trial by jury.
