I'm not Ms. Sue, but I don't think its B, the 14th amendment gives citizenship to anyone born in or naturalized in the U.S. The bill of rights were added to the constitution to make sure everyone had equal rights and that there was a balance.

Scarlet do you think its A then?
Answered by Scarlet
I think it could be either A or D...what does your text material say?
Answered by Ms. Sue
The 14th Amendment has nothing to do with checks and balances between state and federal governments.
