The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which was ratified in 1868, granted citizenship to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States" and guaranteed all citizens “equal protection of the laws.” This was primarily intended to establish civil and legal rights for emancipated slaves and black Americans.
