The 14th Amendment to the Constitution forbids the states to deny any citizen the rights granted by federal law. It also defines

how citizenship is acquired and declares that all citizens are entitled to equal protection of the law. The original purpose of the amendment was to provide citizenship for former slaves and give them full civil rights.
Through the years however the Supreme Court has interpreted the 14th Amendment in different ways. The court has applied the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to a number of cases. For example, in 1905 the court used it in Lochner v. New York to strike down state laws regulating working hours. In 1973, in Roe v. Wade, the court ruled that states may not prohibit a woman, under certain conditions from having an abortion.

With which of the following statements would the author of Source D most likely agree?


A) Connecticut and Massachusetts were not included in the incorporation of the Bill of Rights.

B) The 14th Amendment caused the government to reinterpret the purpose of the Bill of Rights.

C) Before the Civil War, state powers were heavily regulated by the federal government.

D) The 14th Amendment is no longer applicable in modern-day society.

What was the main issue of the constitutional convention? Taxes slavery representation delegation
san4es73 [151]
The correct answer is representation.

At the constitutional convention, big and small states fought constantly over representation in the legislative branch (also known as Congress). Having power in the legislative branch is important because this branch makes federal laws which all citizens are expected to follow.

Big states wanted representation in the legislative branch to be based on population. This would allow larger states, like Virginia, to have more power in terms of making laws. However, smaller states wanted equal representation in the legislative branch. That way each state had the same amount of power, regardless of size.

Ultimately, the two sides compromised with the House of Representatives being based on a states population and the Senate having two senators from each state, regardless of population.
