malleable阅读部分passage71The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in
1868,prohibits state governments from denying citizens the “equal protection of
the laws.” Although precisely what the framers of the amendment meant by this
equal protection clause remains unclear, all interpreters agree that the
framers’ immediate objective was to provide a constitutional warrant for the
Civil Rights Act of 1866, which guaranteed the citizenship of all persons born
in the United States and subject to United States jurisdiction. This
declaration, which was echoed in the text of the Fourteenth Amendment, was
designed primarily to counter the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dred Scott v.
Sandford that Black people in the United States could be denied citizenship. The
act was vetoed by President Andrew Johnson, who argued that the Thirteenth
Amendment, which abolished slavery, did not provide Congress with the authority
to extend citizenship and equal protection to the freed slaves. Although
Congress promptly overrode Johnson’s veto, supporters of the act sought to
ensure its constitutional foundations with the passage of the Fourteenth
Amendment.The broad language of the amendment strongly suggests that its framers were
proposing to write into the Constitution not a laundry list of specific civil
rights but a principle of equal citizenship that forbids organized society from
treating any individual as a member of an inferior class. Yet for the first
eight decades of the amendment’s existence, the Supreme Court’s interpretation
of the amendment betrayed this ideal of equality. In the Civil Rights Cases of
1883, for example, the Court invented the “state action” limitation, which
asserts that “private” decisions by owners of public accommodations and other
commercial business to segregate their facilities are insulated form the reach
of the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection under the law.After the Second World War, a judicial climate more hospitable to equal
protection claims culminated in the Supreme Court;s ruling in Brown v. Board of
Education that racially segregated schools violated the equal protection clause
of the Fourteenth Amendment. Two doctrines embraced by the Supreme Court during
this period extended the amendment’s reach. First, the Court required especially
strict scrutiny of legislation that employed a “suspect classification,” meaning
discrimination against a group on grounds that could be construed as racial.
This doctrine has broadened the application of the Fourteenth Amendment to
other, nonracial forms of discrimination, for while some justices have refused
to find any legislative classification other than race to be constitutionally
disfavored, most have been receptive to arguments that at least some nonracial
discriminations, sexual discrimination in particular, are “suspect” and deserve
this heightened scrutiny by the courts. Second, the Court relaxed the state
action limitation on the Fourteenth Amendment, bringing new forms of private
conduct within the amendment’ s reach.更多留学资讯，请持续关注100留学网！
