Which amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to equal protection under the law?

  1. 13th Amendment.

  2. 14th Amendment.

  3. 15th Amendment.

  4. 19th Amendment.

The 15th Amendment granted voting rights regardless of race, but did not explicitly guarantee equal protection under the law. The 19th Amendment granted voting rights regardless of gender, but did not explicitly guarantee equal protection under the law. The 14th Amendment expressly guarantees equal protection under the law for all citizens, regardless of race, gender, or any other arbitrary characteristic.
