Answer:

  • Restricted the scope of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Explanation:

Congress proposed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth revisions to the Constitution to address the issues of opportunity and citizenship, and required the approval of the initial two for readmission to the Union. Inside the main decade following approval, court cases emerged including people requesting their guaranteed social equality.

During the 1870s, the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth amendments were interpreted by the Supreme Court in the political climate of Reconstruction.
