    At the time “the people” meant “the states”

    Please take a government class before continuing with your understanding of the Constitution

        That’s not what the 14th amendment does

        The 14th provides birthright citizenship, outlines that states won’t imprison people without due process, covers congressional proportionality, and makes insurrection/treason cause for not being eligible for office

        Seriously, take a constitutionality class, you need it

          I pray you actually read what people point you too:

          No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law
