Answer 1

The correct response is the **Fourteenth Amendment**. The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, which included formerly enslaved people. However, it did not extend citizenship rights to many Indigenous peoples, as they were not considered U.S. citizens at that time.
