Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Thirteenth Amendment, adopted in 1865, abolishes slavery or involuntary servitude except in punishment for a crime. The Fourteenth Amendment, adopted in 1868, defines all people born in the United States as citizens, requires due process of law, and requires equal protection to all people.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause requires states to practice equal protection. Equal protection forces a state to govern impartially-not draw distinctions between individuals solely on differences that are irrelevant to a legitimate governmental objective.
