who was involved in the 14th amendment

Answer 1

The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution was primarily drafted by Congressman John Bingham. It was approved by Congress and ratified by the states on July 9, 1868. The amendment had the support of the Republican Party, particularly Radical Republicans, who sought to secure civil, legal, and political rights for African Americans, as well as protect the rights of all citizens in the wake of the Civil War. Notable figures involved in the amendment's creation and ratification include President Andrew Johnson, who initially opposed it, President Ulysses S. Grant, who successfully urged Congress to ratify it, and Senators Charles Sumner and Thaddeus Stevens, who were key advocates for its passage.
