The first two responses are correct. The addition of the Fourteenth Amendment was necessary to limit the powers held by the states, prevent unjust treatment, and ensure equal rights for all citizens. It sought to further explain and expand upon the rights granted in the Thirteenth Amendment, which guaranteed freedom to enslaved individuals. The third response is incorrect as the Fourteenth Amendment was intended to limit state powers, not give them more power. Similarly, the fourth response is incorrect as the purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment was not to clarify rights for the Supreme Court, but rather to establish the rights and protections of individuals.
