The 14th Amendment was in response to the Supreme Court's Dred Scott decision. The 14th Amendment spells out citizenship and prevents states from denying constitutional civil and political rights to their citizens.
It was first intended to secure rights for former slaves. It is the most significant structural change to the Constitution since the United States Bill of Rights. It requires the states to provide equal protection, under the law, to all persons (not only citizens) within their jurisdictions.
