The most accurate response is: **States were not guaranteeing full citizenship rights of former slaves.**
The Fourteenth Amendment was necessary to address the issues of citizenship and equal protection under the law, particularly for formerly enslaved individuals after the Civil War. It aimed to ensure that states could not deny any person the rights of citizenship or equal protection, thereby solidifying the legal status of former slaves as citizens.
