Section 2 of the 14th Amendment is one of the U.S. Constitution's most important evolutions. While it has never been enforced, this particular section gets to the very heart of voting rights in the United States — and its history constitutes a compelling story all its own. On this episode, Franita Tolson, Professor of Law at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, joins to tell that story. She breaks down the importance of understanding these critical passages, and she sheds light on how they inform the biggest debates around ballot access issues as America barrels toward 2020.
