The correct answer would be A) allowing for fair and speedy trials.

When I put in C it said my answer was incorrect.

The correct answer is letter A.

The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution brings, among others, the Citizenship Clause, which overruled a previous Supreme Court's decision on Dred Scott's case that said black people weren't citizens and could not become citizens of the United States.

Also, it brought determined rules of representation in the House of Representatives which added three-fifths of each state's slave population to its free population.

And last, the Equal Protection Clause was extended and and prohibited any state of denying equal protection of the law to any person. This clause was basis for the Brown v. Board of Education case which helped end racial segregation in public schools.

the united states constitution is the supreme law of the united states. the constitution, originally comprising seven articles, delineates the national frame of government. its first three articles embody the doctrine of the separation of powers, whereby the federal government is divided into three branches: the legislative, consisting of the bicameral congress; the executive, consisting of the president; and the judicial, consisting of the supreme court and other federal courts. articles four, five and six embody concepts of federalism, describing the rights and responsibilities of state governments, the states in relationship to the federal government, and the shared process of constitutional amendment. article seven establishes the procedure subsequently used by the thirteen states to ratify it. it is regarded as the oldest written and codified national constitution in force.
