Read the following excerpt from the Fourteenth Amendment:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law . . . .”

This supports the excerpt from the Fourteenth Amendment through a civic disposition by showcasing a willingness to protect and uphold the rights, privileges, and safety of all citizens. By serving in the armed forces or security fields, individuals are actively working to defend the country and its citizens, ensuring that they are not deprived of their life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Similarly, volunteering as a first responder at the local community level demonstrates a commitment to the well-being and safety of fellow citizens, upholding their rights and providing assistance in times of need. By actively engaging in these roles and responsibilities, individuals are exemplifying a civic disposition that supports the principles outlined in the Fourteenth Amendment.
