The Fourteenth Amendment

On July 28, 1868, as the day when our country made progress, the 14th amendment became part of the US Constitution. The 14th amendment brings new hope and inspiration to the oppressed people. It is believed to be the basis for restoring the status and prosperity of the United States.
