In Dred Scott v. Standford, the Supreme Court ruled that African Americans could not be citizens of the United States. Which amendment overturned that ruling?

Respuesta :

The 14th Amendment overturned the Dred Scott decision. This amendment gave citizenship to more than 4 million previously enslaved African Americans. The 14th Amendment was part of the Reconstruction Amendments, which included the 13th (abolished slavery) and the 15th (gave African American men the right to vote). These amendments were passed between 1865-1870.
