Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -By this definition, the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment failed, because though African Americans were granted the legal rights to act as full citizens, they could not do so without fear for their lives and those of their family.
Detailed explanation-2: -The 14th Amendment granted citizenship to everyone born in the United States.
