The Reconstruction amendments abolished slavery, guaranteed all persons due process and equal protection of the law, and equipped black men with the right to vote. They established the principle of birthright citizenship and guaranteed the privileges and immunities of all citizens. The federal government, not the states, was charged with enforcement, reversing the priority of the original Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In grafting the principle of equality onto the Constitution, these revolutionary changes marked the second founding of the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Second Founding\u003c\/em\u003e by Eric Foner offers a compact, insightful history that traces the arc of these pivotal amendments from their dramatic origins in pre–Civil War mass meetings of African-American \"colored citizens\" and in Republican party politics to their virtual nullification in the late nineteenth century. A series of momentous decisions by the Supreme Court narrowed the rights guaranteed in the amendments, while the states actively undermined them.
