Which amendment grants citizenship rights to everyone born in the United States and guarantees equal protection of laws?
Correct Answer:
14th Amendment
Explanation:
Birthright citizenship and equal protection under the law are guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. It establishes that anyone born in the United States is a citizen and therefore entitled to the privileges and protections of citizenship, while also prohibiting states from denying people equal protection of the laws. The amendment also includes the Due Process Clause, which protects individuals from state actions that would deprive them of life, liberty, or property without fair procedures. The other amendments address different issues—voting rights regardless of race, taxation authority, and the abolition of slavery—so they do not specifically define citizenship or establish broad equal protection in the way the Fourteenth does.
