a. false
b. true

The answer is letter a. true.  The 14th Amendment was ratified to enable former slaves to citizenship as well as equal protection before the law.  Southern politicians were very much against this amendment for they saw it as a threat to their position.  

The correct answer is: "TRUE".

The Citizenship clause is included in the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, that was enacted in 1868, during the Reconstruction era.  It states that everybdy who is born or naturalized in the US, is a citizen of the United States and of the state where that person resides.

This clause overturned the former US Supreme Court decision, adopted to solve the Dred Scott v. Sandford case,  which determined that African Americans and former slaves could not acquire the US citizenship nor enjoy the rights and immunities connected to it.

Morever, the 14th Amendment included the Equal Protection Clause which guarantees equal rights for all US citizens, without discrimination in terms or race, gender, religious beliefs, etc.

affirmative action refers to the policies that take gender, race, or ethnicity into account in order to promote equal opportunity.
