The Wong Kim Ark Case: A Fight for Citizenship
This chapter examines the historical context of the United States v. Wong Kim Ark case, focusing on Wong's emergence as a test case for the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause. It discusses the legal challenges faced by Wong and the broader implications of the Supreme Court's ruling on birthright citizenship for individuals of immigrant descent.
The 1898 supreme court case called United States vs. Wong Kim Ark had affected enforcement of the Chinese Exclusion Act, because the court found that people born in the U.S. to Chinese parents were U.S. citizens.
