The 14th Amendment

How Section 3 applies in 2024

The Fourteenth Amendment granted citizenship to all persons “born or naturalized in the United States,” including formerly enslaved people, and provided all citizens with “equal protection under the laws,” extending the provisions of the Bill of Rights to the states.

The amendment authorized the government to punish states that abridged citizens’ right to vote by proportionally reducing their representation in Congress. It banned those who “engaged in insurrection” against the United States from holding any civil, military, or elected office without the approval of two-thirds of the House and Senate.

Agenda:

Overview, What does 14.3 say, Why was it created, Does it apply to Trump?, Why and how are states applying it?, Defenses:, Legal opinions, How will SCOTUS respond?, What does it mean to us?
