Your friend's mother was always baking ginger-flavored cookies whenever you were at their house. you loved those cookies, and would eat several each time you visited. one day, you noticed that you started to salivate as you walked up the front steps to the house, before you smell the cookies. the reason for this is that the house has become a(n):

Conditioned stimulus

Explanation:

Classical conditioning is a form of learning by associating stimulus to responses and by pairing them in order to learn.

In classical conditioning, first we have a stimulus that triggers a natural response by itself. This stimulus is called the unconditioned stimulus (US) and the natural response triggered is the unconditioned response (UR).

Later, we start presenting a stimulus that doesn't trigger any response by itself and we pair this stimulus with the unconditioned stimulus. This new stimulus is called the conditioned stimulus (CS), soon, after some repetitions, the response will start to show up in presence of the CS, and now the response is called conditioned response (CR).

In this example, your friend's mother always bakes cookies when you are at their house. The cookies have the natural effect of making you salivate. Thus, the cookies would be the Unconditioned stimulus and the act of salivating would be the Unconditioned response. After many times, one day you start salivate as soon as you walk up the front steps to the house before smelling the cookies; we can see that you have paired the cookies with the house and therefore the house has become the conditioned stimulus that makes you salivate (conditioned response) as soon as you arrive.

Therefore, the reason for this is that the house has become a conditioned stimulus.

facts: the 14th amendment

the 14th amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection of the laws.

the 14th amendment was intended to protect the rights of former slaves after the american civil war.

the 14th amendment was approved by congress in june of 1866 and ratified by the states on july 9, 1868.

the 14th amendment establishes that all persons born in the united states are citizens and are guaranteed all the rights of citizenship.

the 14th amendment establishes that the law protects all citizens equally.

in this case the passage of the 14th amendment   that was violated was the last part in which it states that there is equal protection of the law.

it is a part of john locke's natural rights popular during the age of enlightenment that people had inalienable rights to life, liberty and property. this was reflected by thomas jefferson in his declaration of independence as rights to life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

another line in the declaration of independence is that people have certain rights just because they are human. humans are capable of obeying the three natural rights john locke mentioned making them governable by these laws and therefore entitled to these rights as well.
