Answer 1

The correct statement regarding how the Fourteenth Amendment affects citizenship is: It says that anyone born in the U.S. automatically becomes a U.S. citizen.

This is established in the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which grants citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, thereby ensuring that they are citizens regardless of their parents' nationality.
