Answer 1

The correct answers are A. The right of citizenship; C. Equal protection under the law; and D. Due process

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fourteenth Amendment approved in 1868 recognized the right of citizenship for all people born in the national territory or those that acquire the citizenship. This implies African-Americans and other minorities were officially recognized as citizens. Besides this, the amendment extends other rights and protections through 5 sections.

Also, due to this equally protection citizens cannot be arrested or deprived of any right without the due legal process such as the right to have a trial.
