Answer:
The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was adopted on July 9, 1868, as one of the Reconstruction Amendments. Arguably one of the most consequential amendments to this day, the amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection under the law and was proposed in response to issues related to former slaves following the American Civil War. The amendment was bitterly contested, particularly by the states of the defeated Confederacy, which were forced to ratify it in order to regain representation in Congress. The amendment, particularly its first section, is one of the most litigated parts of the Constitution, forming the basis for landmark decisions such as Brown v. Board of Education regarding racial segregation, Roe v. Wade regarding abortion, Bush v. Gore regarding the 2000 presidential election, and Obergefell v. Hodges regarding same-sex marriage.

The Works Progress Administration was a government agency established during the Great Depression by President Roosevelt to help solve the massive unemployment problem at the time. It was the largest of the government agencies in the history of the United States created to set up relief and public works.
From 1935 to 1943, it provided jobs for about eight million people, costing about $11 billion. In almost every community in the United States, there are parks, bridges, and schools funded by the WPA. By 1940, it had built about 4,383 new school buildings, improved another 30,000, built 130 new hospitals, and improved another 1,670 hospitals.
Its largest single project was the Tennessee Valley Authority, whose mission was to build dams in the Tennessee Valley for power generation. Camp David and the Golden Gate Bridge were also built by the WPA.
