Answer 1

The amendment that has had the greatest impact on increasing civil rights is the **Fourteenth Amendment**. Ratified in 1868, it grants citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States and provides for equal protection under the laws, which has been foundational for various civil rights movements and legal protections against discrimination.
