Details

A crucial and timely investigation of the Fourteenth Amendment and the impact it's had—and continues to have—on our rights as citizens, for readers of Rise Up! and This Is Our Constitution.

In 1954, the Supreme Court held in Brown v. Board of Education that separate schools for Black and white students are inherently unequal. In 1973, the Supreme Court guaranteed that abortion was a fundamental right in Roe v. Wade. And in 2015, the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage nationwide in Obergefell v. Hodges. What do these three famous cases, separated by decades, have in common? Each one was decided under the Fourteenth Amendment.

Born in the years after the Civil War, the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments served as a sort of second Constitution, redefining what America would look like in the years after slavery ended. The Fourteenth was the most expansive, and the most complicated, of the three.
