Part C

Does the 14Th combine with the earlier "no religious test" clause to guarantee a vision of a diverse and equitable society with no government discrimination?

The 14Th amendment as well as the "no religious test" states that there can't be laws that deny a person of life,liberty,or property and that everyone is equal. Regardless of race, color or religion people are able to run for office and should not be denied the right to run. I think the 14Th amendment stands as a reassuring note to the people that we need to remember that we are "equal" and that everyone is entitled to their rights regardless of who they are.

Amendments 12, 13, 14, & 15 are often referred to as a major turning point in US government policy. Explain the importance of these amendments.

Amendments 12-15 are major in the US government because it changed the way certain things where run such as slavery. Slavery was well known and then in the 13Th amendment explains that slavery is no longer allowed. Slavery has now been forbidden in the United States and no longer can happen. Many things have changed since the Constitution was written. Many laws and amendments have stayed the same but many have changed for the better or for the worse.
