The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, guarantees all citizens that “no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty or
property without due process of law.” The clear intent of this amendment was to _________. a. give women the right to vote
b. provide freedmen with all of the rights of citizenship
c. provide a constitutional amendment to reinforce the Dred Scott Decision
d. prevent the use of imminent domain to obtain land for public highways
The clear intent of this amendment was to "<span>b. provide freedmen with all of the rights of citizenship," since it was assumed that Southern states in particular would try to deny the newly-freed slaves their constitutional rights (which they did anyway). </span>
Yes because if we did not have those laws in place, anyone could vote. Would you think its okay to let a 15 year old vote? Personally, i believe it would be good, but also illegal.
