TRUE

Explanation:

The fourteenth amendment to the Constitution was approved in the year 1868 and it granted citizenship to the African American and gave equal rights to them. It provides equal protection rights under the law.

The fourth amendment to the constitution proved right to privacy that it protects citizens of the United States from unlawful seizures and searches. The police cannot search a person or his house without search warrant issued from the court and cannot use any evidence in the trail in the court that was seized illegally.

This was given in the case of Mapp v. Ohio in the year 1961 that any evidence that was obtained by breaking or violating the 4th amendment law cannot be presented in the state courts.

Hence the answer is - -

TRUE
