Ksenya-84 [330]1 year ago
6 0

All people born or naturalized in the United States, including former slaves, were granted citizenship by the 1868 ratification of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which also guaranteed all citizens "equal protection of the laws."

The Fourteenth Amendment, which was added to the Constitution of the United States in 1868, included African Americans and slaves who had been freed from slavery following the American Civil War under the general heading "all persons born or naturalized in the United States." It also gave them equal civil and legal rights. The amendment has five sections in total, four of which were first proposed separately in 1866, stalled in the legislative process, and were later combined with a fifth enforcement section to form a single amendment.

PLS Important, 2 questions
Mama L [17]

Answer:

3 basic rights.

1.Religious freedom

2. Freedom of speach

3. Freedom of the press

Explanation:

All of our rights even inalianable rights come with limits.

The only right that has no limits is the freedom of thought which is the same as religious freedom. You have the right to think and believe anything. But even that has restrictions on how you can act on your beliefs. Your religious beliefs are not a license to do anything related to that belief. You can't engage in human sacrifice as a ritual for the belief. You can't hide behind your religous beliefs as a sheild against prosecution for murder.

"Freedom of religion embraces two concepts, -freedom to believe and freedom to act. The first is absolute, but in the nature of things the second cannot be. ~ <em>Cantwell v Connecticut.</em>

<em />

The freedom of speach also has limits. You can say anything but you can't yell fire in a crowded theater. Doing so could cause a stampede and endanger the lives of others. Likewise, we have an impeachment case before the Senate right now in which the former president incited a riot at the Capital complex that caused the death of 6 people. The question before the Senate is did the former President incite a riot causing death and destruction of public property?  

The freedom of the press is a first amendment right. But that doesn't give a publisher the right to slander or print falsehood about another person. The freedom of assembly is another 1st amendment right, but there is a difference between a lawful and peaceful assembly and a riot that results in the death of 5 people and the destruction of property.
