civil rights amendments

The Civil Rights Amendments are a series of changes to the U.S. Constitution aimed at ensuring equality and protecting the rights of individuals, particularly after the Civil War. Key amendments include the 13th (abolishing slavery), 14th (granting citizenship and equal protection under the law), and 15th (prohibiting voting discrimination based on race). Together, these amendments laid the foundation for civil rights in America, promoting fairness, justice, and the idea that all citizens should have equal opportunities and protections under the law, regardless of their race or background.
