The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States ('XIV Amendment') is one of the post-Civil War amendments, and includes, among others, the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause. It was proposed on June 13, 1866, and ratified on July 9, 1868.

The amendment provides a broad definition of national citizenship, which overrides the decision of Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), who had excluded slaves and their descendants, from possessing constitutional rights. It requires states to provide equal protection before the law to all persons (not just citizens) within their jurisdictions. The importance of the Fourteenth Amendment was exemplified when it was interpreted to prohibit racial segregation in public schools in the Brown v. Case. Board of Education.

<h2> Lewis and Clark Expedition</h2>

<u>14 May 1804 – 23 Sep 1806</u>

The Lewis and Clark Expedition from May 1804 to September 1806, also known as the Corps of Discovery Expedition, was the first American expedition to cross the western portion of the United States.. It began in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,made its way westward, and passed through the Continental Divide of the Americas to reach the Pacific coast. The Corps of Discovery was a selected group of US Army volunteers under the command of Captain Meriwether Lewis and his close friend Second Lieutenant William Clark.

President Thomas Jefferson commissioned the expedition shortly after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 to explore and to map the newly acquired territory, to find a practical route across the western half of the continent, and to establish an American presence in this territory before Britain and other European powers tried to claim it. The campaign's secondary objectives were scientific and economic: to study the area's plants, animal life, and geography, and to establish trade with local American Indian tribes. The expedition returned to St. Louis to report its findings to Jefferson, with maps, sketches, and journals in hand.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the options to answer this question. You also forgot to mention what time in US history you are referring to.

Without options, the are many possibilities to answer the question.

That is why we are going to answer based on our knowledge of the topic.

We are going to assume you are referring to the Pop culture of the 1950s and 1960s.

American’s were obsessed with two types of entertainment during this time which was television and rock and roll music..

During those decades, the American people, especially the young Americans were fascinated with rock and roll music brought to the massive scene by African American musicians such as Little Richard, and Chuck Berry, and Mexican-American Richie Valens, or Texan Buddy Holly, and many more.

Television was the other form of entertainment that caught the total attention of the American people. We could say that in those years, television was a key part of the American culture, and companies aimed their advertising efforts to TV commercials.
