Answer:

Fourteenth Amendment

Step-by-step explanation:

Congress drafted the Fourteenth Amendment, which prevented states from denying rights and privileges to any U.S. citizen, now defined as "all persons born or naturalized in the United States." This definition was expressly intended to overrule and nullify the Dred Scott decision.
