The Fourteenth Amendment to the Us. Constitution Is Itself Unconstitutional
Conrad said that the fourteenth amendment to the us. Constitution is itself unconstitutional. Conrad was making this argument in front of the supreme court, over 30 years after the ink on the fourteenth Amendment had dried. The government made its argument, then it was wan kim arks lawyer's chance to counter. Their claim: This principle of birthright citizenship is a long standing principle in common law,. not just american common law, but english common law. And therefore, if you look at how it has played out over time, there's plenty of grounding there to support the idea that the descendants of chinese born in the united states are entitled to birthright citizenship.
