Answer 1

It is incorrect to say that the Fourteenth Amendment guaranteed freedom of speech for all citizens, including African Americans. While the Fourteenth Amendment did address citizenship and civil rights, it specifically focused on establishing equal protection under the law and due process for all citizens, regardless of race. The amendment also addressed other important issues, such as representation in Congress, debt payments, and disqualification of former Confederates from holding office.
