Part 2 of the birthright citizenship case before the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court hears argument in Trump v. CASA, Trump v. Washington, and Trump v. New Jersey, a case about judges stopping President Trump's executive order that limits birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented parents. The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution primarily addresses citizenship, equal protection under the law, and due process. It defines United States citizenship, prohibits states from abridging the privileges or immunities of citizens, and guarantees that no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, or deny equal protection of the laws. Here's a more detailed breakdown:Citizenship:Section 1 defines United States citizenship as birthright citizenship, meaning that all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to its jurisdiction, are citizens of the United States and of the state where they reside. Privileges or Immunities Clause:Section 1 also prohibits states from making or enforcing any law that abridges the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. Due Process Clause:Section 1 prohibits states from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Equal Protection Clause:Section 1 prohibits states from denying any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Other Provisions:Apportionment of Representatives: Section 2 specifies how representatives are apportioned among the states based on population. Disqualification from Office: Section 3 prohibits individuals who previously swore to support the Constitution but engaged in insurrection or rebellion from holding office, unless Congress grants a two-thirds vote of each House to pardon them. Validity of Public Debt: Section 4 declares the validity of the public debt of the United States and prohibits questioning the validity of debts incurred to suppress insurrection or rebellion. Enforcement: Section 5 grants Congress the power to enforce the provisions of the amendment through appropriate legislation. The Fourteenth Amendment has been a cornerstone of civil rights in the United States, particularly in the 20th century, as it has been used in numerous Supreme Court cases to challenge discriminatory laws and practices.
