What is one of the guarantees of the 14th amendment?

  1. Right to bear arms

  2. Citizenship and equal protection under the law

  3. Right to a speedy trial

  4. The rights to assemble peacefully

The correct answer is: Citizenship and equal protection under the law

One of the guarantees of the 14th amendment is citizenship and equal protection under the law. This amendment was added after the Civil War to ensure that all citizens, regardless of race, were granted equal rights and protections under the law. Option A, right to bear arms, is protected under the 2nd amendment. Option C, right to a speedy trial, is protected under the 6th amendment. Option D, the right to assemble peacefully, is protected under the 1st amendment. Therefore, these options are incorrect because they do not pertain to the guarantees of the 14th amendment.
