The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, adopted on July 9, 1868, includes the Citizenship Clause, which grants citizenship to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof." This clause has been interpreted to mean that nearly all individuals born in the U.S. automatically acquire U.S. citizenship, with certain exceptions such as children of foreign diplomats. This was a critical amendment that ensured citizenship for former slaves and established a standard for birthright citizenship.
