Explanation:
The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1868, granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States—including former enslaved people—and guaranteed all citizens “equal protection of the laws.” One of three amendments passed during the Reconstruction era to abolish slavery and establish civil and legal rights for Black Americans, it would become the basis for many landmark Supreme Court decisions over the years.
conclusion :- 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
<h2>"Expressed powers" or "enumerated powers."</h2>
Enumerated powers are those powers specifically granted to the federal government by the United States Constitution.
Enumerated powers include such things as the power to coin/print money, the power to establish and impose tariffs, and the power to regulated trade with foreign nations and trade/commerce between states.
Strict constructionists and loose constructionists differ over whether the government's powers should be limited to those specifically enumerated powers. Strict constructionists read the Constitution as giving the federal government only those specifically delegated powers. Loose constructionists argue that anything not specifically forbidden by the constitution can be within the window of what the government needs to do in adapting to the needs of time and circumstances.
