Fourteenth Amendment Section 1 sourced SAQ

One 2027-style sourced short-answer using the Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1. Identify a legal change, explain a Reconstruction-era limit, then add evidence not in the amendment text. This is one sourced task, not a fake three-question paper.

On the May 2027 paper, all three short answers are required and each has a source. This sitting is one primary-text task, not a rehearsal of the whole section.
