The Fourteenth Amendment defined U.S. citizenship, ensured equal protection under the law, and guaranteed due process. However, it did not give voting rights to Black Americans (the Fifteenth Amendment did that) and the "separate but equal" doctrine (from Plessy v. Ferguson) was not prevented by the Fourteenth Amendment until Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. Slavery was abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment.
