The Fourteenth Amendment

So one of your peers came by after school today to ask for clarification on the Fourteenth Amendment. We didn't do formal notes that day, or a Powerpoint, instead I wrote some key terms on the board.

You can check your paraphrase of the Constitution for a description of the Fourteenth Amendment. The most important element of it to know is that it guarantees "equal protection under the law" for all citizens and that it was used in Brown v. Board of Education to integrate schools.
