The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States 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 in the 1950s when it was interpreted to prohibit racial segregation in public schools in the case Brown v. Board of Education.

How has the opportunity to immigrate into Western Canada contributed to present day Canadian identity, culture and diversity?
Leokris [45]

Answer:

One group Sifton believed to be the ideal immigrant was the American farmer. He thought that they made for excellent settlers as they would already be equipped to deal with North American conditions. Additionally, although Sifton departed from this tradition slightly, British immigrants were still highly valued. Besides that, Sifton saw Central and Eastern European agriculturists as prime candidates for Canadian immigration. He thought that these people, although not traditionally valued, were the ideal settlers for the Prairies especially as they were already familiar with agriculture, rural lifestyle, and harsh climates.

The great depression resulted in a nation wide decrease in food, money and work. This affected peoples ability to pay taxes. Without the government getting money from the people there was no trade happening between the USA and other countries and that resulted in other countries losing essential products and harming them.
