The addition of the Fourteenth Amendment was necessary to limit the powers held by the states, prevent unjust treatment, and ensure equal rights for all citizens. It was also important to clarify for the Supreme Court what rights people who had been enslaved were entitled to, as well as to further explain the rights granted in the Thirteenth Amendment, which guaranteed freedom to people who had been enslaved.
