reconstruction debates  

Definition(s)

  • Reconstruction-era debates in Congress and in the wider public arena over the promulgation and ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment focused in important ways on the constitutional law of the Fourth Amendment's protections against unreasonable search and seizure. The Fourteenth Amendment was one of three Reconstruction amendments (the others were the Thirteenth [1865] and Fifteenth [1870]) designed to end slavery and protect the newly freedmen's civil rights.
