the fourteenth amendment one slavery was abolished in the thirteenth
- 00:29
amendment Congress wanted a way to ensure that newly freed
- 00:32
slaves would have equal protection under the laws which basically
- 00:36
meant the federal government could watch state governments like a
- 00:39
hawk to ensure they weren't swooping in on people's rights
- 00:43
even though the fourteenth amendment made it unconstitutional to deny
- 00:46
any person unfair treatment Under the law the supreme court
- 00:50
has used a tiered approach Teo its application's Well think
- 00:55
of it like a wedding cake at the top We

- 01:36
amendment And if we look at our choices that make
- 01:39
us see the right answer Some of the most famous
- 01:42
supreme court cases like brown v board of education I
- 01:46
have dealt with this top tier of discrimination to remembering
- 01:49
that racial classifications fall in the top tier of scrutiny 00:01:52.741 --> [endTime] Should be a piece of cake
