Anything funny about the 14th Amendment being a War Time Amendment? The 2nd and 3rd sections are about government officials who left for the confederacy or "rebellion" not being allowed back in office. the 4rth section is to state the Union war debts as unquestionable. So the only Section of the 14th Amendment of political and social interest to us today is:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. 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; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
I'd like to note several things. Did you know the Civil War was going to be averted by the Constitution Party. The Constitution provides for servitudes and compromises. The Constitution would bring the Northand South together. Its the longest lasting Constitution of any importance in the world, I've heard? The 14th Amendment 1st Clause, by European Observation, is Uniquely American . No one else has this unique political stance of Birth Citizenship. Kind of explains to me how after the war, the privileges and reasoning was extended to blacks so quickly, come on back Home to Dixie in the arms of your ol' mommy. I guess sort of inherent in that is the baseline privileges of a US citizenship over how you normally treat your neighbors.

Its all Agreements, I don't know anything set in stone. For example, a large outcry for the 1900 Asia was most treaties with European powers forced extraterritoriality, meaning a European judge would have to come or prosecute crimes in those countries involving Europeans, which never happens. Unequal Treaties made "Fair Treaties" pretty rare. No opium.
Heck I'm in my 30s and I haven't been to vote, haven't been on jury, or ran, and the originating Roman Citizenship is naturally going to reduce lineages or useful foreign identifications. We have multitudes of presidents talk down the New concept. The British world goes on with Aborigines, British Australians, some places don't have participation politics. Some Places like North Korea, sure what big thing to be a citizen! Everyone pitches in! Everyone votes! Everyone , its 100% democratic! Everyone show up to vote for the great leader! All made up word-twisting metrics too. Sorry to say it sickens me to watch Republic of Korea TV and somebody left their mandatory army duty for the United States and they're instantly referred to as "American" in Korean. Ya so being American is this set of ideals people memorize... jump over to being lazy and having no responsibilities, sounds good. They started tracking that "American" ethnicity across the south starting in the 80's. Like don't be "racist", I thought we were past this. "Yankees get out" in front of the army base protests . Like ya, go Dixie, no more 55 days in Peking stealing the Chinese women.
Give me your unable to speak English, your uneducated, your poor, did you see that people applying to be citizens, Brain Drain mechanics. Immigration Act of 1965 now your doctor isn't even German! Wunderbar! How is it that a 100% totally Southern Dixie President Woodrow Wilson, talks up and bolsters to the German American's loyalties through all of World War 1, then in one gap New Yorker Theodore Roosevelt comes in, says, see his war on "hyphen americans"? You have divided loyalty if you are a "German American" and there are only "americans"? They're the ones listing all the ethnicities up there on the census, they look like a kaleidoscope. oops irish just took Bronx, I don't know. I don't know what that "dagger in the heart" line from Wilson was, when he claimed American Revolution ancestry, a "second Washington" , and not only that, himself is from the line of Ulster-Scots that he is proud of that led foremost as an Ulster Scot in the nation.
