Explanation:

The Fourteenth Amendment's clauses were not enforced or interpreted consistently by the Supreme Court in its early years. Southern states often found ways to circumvent its intent, and the Court's decisions at times did not fully uphold the amendment's promise of equal protection and due process for African - Americans. For example, in cases like Plessy v. Ferguson, the Court upheld racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine, which contradicted the spirit of the Fourteenth Amendment.

The clauses included in the Fourteenth Amendment were not enforced or interpreted consistently by the Supreme Court.
