Actually it did need its own Amendment. The 1st section of the 14th Amendment says, "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.
Until 14th Amendment jurisprudence, States had the right to limit things like free speech. Over the last 140 years, the 14th Amendment has been one of the most cited sources of Constitutional claims largely because of this clause.
