I will be able define or explain the following: 14th Amendment - an amendment to the U. S. Constitution that defines
grants citizenship to former slaves and defines
voters as males at least
years of age

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States America allows voting rights to all male citizens of the United States 21 years of age or older and it also allowed former slaves to be naturalized as citizens of the United States, while the 15th amendment clarified that yes, African Americans are part of the male citizens that can vote. It also defines due process under the law which allows fair treatment under the judicial system for all U.S. citizens.

This amendment was created along with the 13th amendment and the 15th amendment, which abolished slavery and gave African Americans the right to vote respectively. This came after the Civil War which was fought over slavery. These amendments helped the former slaves be integrated into American society, which was a crucial step in eradicating systemic racism in the United States.

the authority of the president have been brought about

without changes in the constitutional text, but nevertheless

without significant illegality.

this is a paradox. is it not clear that constitutional

changes, if not textual, are illegal? the paradox has considerable relevance to our current thinking about the presidency in particular and about constitutionalism in general.

perhaps the framers of the american constitution feared

legislative power most of all; 2 but from well-known events

in the twentieth century, it is possible to conclude that it is

presidential power that holds out the greatest risks to both

liberty and democracy. the president is by far the most visible leader in the nation; he is often the only person in government with a national constituency. moreover, he is
