__**"The Fourteenth Amendment protects groups of people -- usually racially cognizable groups -- from being targeted for such "stops" because of their race. Unlike the Fourth Amendment, which considers whether a given "stop," standing alone, is reasonable, the Fourteenth Amendment considers whether like groups are treated equally"
 * __14th amendment

"14th Amendment allows for states to deny the vote to people “for participation in rebellion or other crime.” Many say that reinstating the vote, particularly to those still behind bars, sends the wrong message about what it means to be a responsible citizen and jeopardizes the necessity for society to protect itself from criminals."

"Passed by Congress June 13, 1866. Ratified July 9, 1868 All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Jim is one of Miss Watson's slaves his superstitious and sometimes sentimental, but his smart and his also one of the characters whos the most adult in the story by always looking after Huck they show how the 14th amendment isnt quiet showen after this law was inforced and to show its not just a few people but most of the country going by these types of habits about slaves. Twain uses Jim's thoughts of his family and freindship as a n example with Huck and Tom to show that poeple has nothing to do with race.
