The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution is a law that guarantees equal protection under the law to all people born or naturalized in the US, and prevents states from denying anyone life, liberty or property without due process of law.
The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1868, grants equal protection under the law to all citizens and prohibits states from denying any person within their jurisdiction the rights of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. This amendment was primarily aimed at protecting the civil rights of formerly enslaved African Americans and ensuring that they had equal rights and legal protections.
