Read the following excerpt from the Fourteenth Amendment:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State
wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor
shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law...."
Explain how one could support this through a civic disposition.
(1 point)
A person volunteers to serve in the armed forces or other security related fields at the national level. They may also seek to serve as a first responder at
the local community level.
A person serves as an impartial jury member when selected to do so by local, state, or federal officials. A person votes based on your beliefs about the
rightness of a law, but accepts majority rule.
A person does not deny others access to your business or other activity based on their race, creed, or gender.
A person engages in public debates. A person accepts the outcome of an election as legitimate even if your candidate does not win.
Supporting the Fourteenth Amendment through a civic disposition involves actively participating in civic duties and responsibilities that uphold the principles of the amendment. By volunteering to serve in the armed forces at the national level or as a first responder in the local community, one is demonstrating a commitment to protecting the rights and liberties of all citizens.
Similarly, serving as an impartial jury member, voting based on personal beliefs while accepting majority rule, and not discriminating against others based on race, creed, or gender are all actions that align with the values of equality and due process outlined in the Fourteenth Amendment.
Engaging in public debates, accepting the outcome of elections even if one's preferred candidate does not win, and overall respecting the rule of law are further ways to demonstrate a civic disposition that supports the principles of the Fourteenth Amendment. By actively participating in these civic activities, individuals can contribute to a society that upholds the rights and responsibilities of all citizens.
