To find the answer to this question, you can start by understanding what the Fourteenth Amendment is. The Fourteenth Amendment is an amendment to the United States Constitution that was ratified in 1868. It addresses various aspects of civil rights and equal protection under the law.
Next, you can eliminate the options that are not related to the civil rights of former slaves. The options "election of the president," "prohibition of alcohol," and "voting rights of women" do not directly deal with the civil rights of former slaves, so you can eliminate them.
After eliminating those options, you are left with the correct answer: "civil rights of former slaves."
