The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1868, prohibits state governments from denying citizens the "equal protection of the laws." Although precisely what the framers of the amendment meant by this equal protection clause remains unclear, all interpreters agree that the framers' immediate objective was to provide a constitutional warrant for the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which guaranteed the citizenship of all persons born in the United States and subject to United States jurisdiction. This declaration, which was echoed in the text of the Fourteenth Amendment, was designed primarily to counter the Supreme Court's ruling in Dred Scott v. Sandford that Black people in the United States could be denied citizenship. The act was vetoed by President Andrew Johnson, who argued that the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery, did not provide Congress with the authority to extend citizenship and equal protection to the freed slaves. Although Congress promptly overrode Johnson's veto, supporters of the act ^^^^^^^^ sought to ensure its constitutional foundations with the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment. In the context in which it appears, "overrode" most nearly means ○A trampled ○B extended ○C annulled ○D neutralized ○E compromised 這題答案是(C)，想請問為何(D)不對 neutralize不是也有廢除、使無效的意思嗎? 麻煩各位了 --
