The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (enacted in 1868) states that all natural-born and naturalized American citizens are guaranteed "equal protection of the laws." The Fourteenth Amendment contains the Citizenship Clause. However, that portion of the amendment only defines who is a citizen. The Equal Protection Clause establishes that all citizens are guaranteed "equal protection of the laws." (The Nineteenth Amendment recognized women's right to vote. The Establishment Clause is the portion of the First Amendment that states that the government cannot establish a state religion.)
