"If the Constitution was a movie, the Preamble would be the trailer, the First Amendment the establishing shot, the 13th the crowd pleaser and the 14th the ultimate hero scene."

On this date, July 9, in 1868, the 14th Amendment was ratified (became law) when South Carolina's lawmakers approved it - the 28th state (representing at least 3/4 of the Union) to do so. It was one of three Reconstruction Amendments enabled after the Civil War. The 14th Amendment granted citizenship to former slaves and provided equal protection of laws to all citizens.
