14th Amendment Ratified

Timeline

In an effort to fix the flaws of the 13th Amendment, the 14th Amendment was passed. It said: 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.
