Ratified 150 years ago, the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution has safeguarded Americans for generations. Through its due process and equal protection guarantees, the amendment helped protect and promote the rights of all individuals.

And finally, the Fourteenth Amendment introduced the ideal of equality to the Constitution for the first time, promising “equal protection of the laws.” ... In fact, it made possible a new Constitution—one that protected rights throughout the nation and upheld equality as a constitutional value.


Hope this helps or gives you a idea hit thanks if it did please!!
