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.
