Read this excerpt from the Fourteenth Amendment. Then answer the question that follows.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. 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.

Which two conclusions can you draw from the excerpt?

a The amendment guaranteed full citizenship to anyone born in the United States.

b The amendment provided voting rights to anyone born in the United States.

c The amendment banned states from passing laws that discriminated against any race.

d The amendment provided voting rights to the recently freed Black people in the South.

Sagot :

Answer:

A and C

Explanation:

Voting rights weren't addressed until the 15th amendment, so B and D cannot be the answers (Further, it wouldn't be all people born in the United States as B says anyway, because women couldn't vote until the 19th amendment).

The excerpt explicitly does A, and though C is misleading in that it wasn't enforced very well, it was still included in the amendment.

Hope this helps :)
