Question

The Fourteenth Amendment is:


Choose the best answer from the options below:
A The equal rights of citizens
B Part of the Bill of Rights
C Part of the “separate but equal” doctrine
D A and B only
E B and C only

Answer 1

The best answer is **A The equal rights of citizens**.

The Fourteenth Amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection under the law, thus relating to the equal rights of citizens. It is not part of the Bill of Rights (which comprises the first ten amendments), nor is it directly part of the "separate but equal" doctrine, which was established by the Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson, but the Fourteenth Amendment is often cited in discussions about civil rights and equality. Therefore, option A is the most accurate.
