This amendment established that the right to vote can't be denied because of an individual's background. Along with the 13th and 14th amendments, this amendment was designed to give minorities the right to vote. This combated discriminatory laws, which usually prevented blacks from voting. These laws were especially prominent in the South, where slavery had just been abolished.

This calls for the direct election of U.S senators by citizens as opposed to state legislatures, and clarifies that each state of the U.S gets two senators.

This amendment gives the right to citizenship to those who are born in the United States, and any citizenship has certain privileges granted to it. Among these are equal protection under the law, life, liberty, or property. In the context of the time (1968, respectively), this makes sense; at this time, a lot of former slaves did not have citizenship rights. As this amendment established the rights of people born in the United States, former slaves continued to gain more personal freedoms and constitutional rights.

As segregation was continually described to be unconstitutional and not separate but equal, people appealed to the 14th amendment, which describes that any citizen of the U.S has the right to equal protection.
