The correct answer is the Fourteenth Amendment.

Explanation:

The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is one of the post-Civil War amendments, and includes, among others, the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause. It was proposed on June 13, 1866, and ratified on July 9, 1868. It requires to the states to provide equal protection before the law to all persons (not just citizens) within their jurisdictions.

In accordance with the Amendment, all United States-born citizens are American nationals, except persons such as diplomats accredited to the United States Government, who, because of their condition, are not subject to to your jurisdiction.
