Explanation:

The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, ratified in 1868, seeks to protect the rights of former slaves, particularly in the southern states. It guarantees citizenship to everyone born in the United States, and affirms the need to guarantee equal protection for all those in its territory.

In 1954, in Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court found that this amendment prohibited segregation in public schools and in 2015, in Obergefell v. Hodges, it considered that this amendment made same-sex marriage a constitutional right.

In addition,  Section 1 of this amendment gives citizenship to anyone born or naturalized in the United States (therefore including former slaves).
