The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, grants citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States and ensures equal protection under the law, prohibiting states from denying any person their rights without due process. The 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870, prohibits the federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." Together, these amendments were crucial in advancing civil rights for African Americans following the Civil War.
