Explanation:
According to Mr. Lincoln’s one-time law partner, William Herndon, Mr. Lincoln followed Theodore Parker’s ideas. Mr. Parker was a Unitarian minister and he promoted the purity of inner ideals and individualism over corrupted social customs and laws. His one-time law partner once said, ‘’the U.S. Constitution is a provisional compromise between the ideal political principle of the Declaration and the actual selfishness of the people North and South.”
Mr. Abraham Lincoln didn’t say ‘’this took place 87 years before the 1863 gathering at Gettysburg, but he said “Fourscore and seven years ago” (a score being 20 years). By 1863, America had outlived a human life, and Mr. Lincoln had frequently called on his contemporaries to live up to the ideas of the past generation of American founders.

Answer:
The fourteenth amendment guaranteed rights for citizens (regardless of race, gender, or creed) who are born or naturalized within the United States. Although racism still exists today, it is clear that race is not a factor in citizenship. The fifteenth amendment guaranteed all African American males the right to vote, and the nineteenth amendment gave women the right to vote. The effects of the fourteenth and nineteenth amendment are clear. While all citizens over eighteen now have the right to vote, the 2008 election proved that the effects are more far-reaching. For the first time, the presidential race saw both an African-American and a female seriously competing for the presidency.
