Social Darwinism explained the operation of society as "survival of the fittest."
People often associate the term "survival of the fittest" with Charles Darwin, but actually it was terminology that came from Herbert Spencer, the founder of what is known as Social Darwinism. (Spencer wouldn't have called it that - he and Darwin were rivals.) Darwin used the term "natural selection" in his descriptions of biological evolution. Spencer was unafraid to apply the same concepts to competition within the human species, contending that the stronger, fitter social or cultural groups will survive better than others and dominate over weaker groups.

This was a powerful tool in both Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany.

The 14th Amendment guaranteed rights to life, liberty and <u>property</u> to all citizens born in the United States -- including those who formerly were slaves in states in the South. The amendment was ratified in 1868, following the Civil War, and was one of three amendments (XIII, XIV, XV) which were aimed at making black Americans full citizens of the USA. The 14th Amendment stated:
<span><em>All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.</em></span>
