CONSTITUITION PART C

Does the 14th combined with the earlier "no religious test" clause guarantee a vision of a diverse and equitable society with no government discrimination?

the fourteenth amendment states that there can’t be laws made to go against the lives, liberty, and property of citizens, and the no religious test clause states that a person’s religion wont stop them from being able to hold a spot in office in the United States. this amendment was mad for the black slaves to be equal to every body even the white slave owners. the only people that the amendment didnt take care was the females. but later on it did.


Amendments 12, 13, 14, & 15 are often referred to as a major turning point in US government policy. Explain the importance of these amendments

these 4 amendments were very important to america an slavery at the time. this an the civial rights movement was a big push for blacks equality. the 14th amendment which states that laws can’t be made that rob people of their lives and freedom, the 15th states that all everybody can vote doesnt matter which color. this is when the government tried to work on equilty for the country it worked.
