The 14th Amendment Explained: US Government Review

[jamnkats]

RN to BSN and watching your videos for a required Government class. At first I hated the idea of this dry old stuff but the last 4 years have taught me I really should know the constitution so much better than I was never taught 50 years ago. So, thank you for making this so palatable and interesting.

Watched this because I am homeschooling my soon-to-be-13 year old daughter. We are going over the Civil War and Reconstruction.

The jurisdiction phrase means the mother must have legal status in the US, not legal status somewhere else, like foreign diplomats. Also people on vacation while pregnant, giving birth here is incidental, they could take a vacation anywhere, obviously, the baby is a citizen of their home country.

Watching this in May 2023 as we’re staring at a Debt Ceiling crisis. Invoking the 14th Amendment was one option on the table. To anyone in the future reading this, I hope all pans out, but as of now we have no idea what’s going to happen.

Thank you so much for making this accessible. I feel more prepared for my public policy class today!

Studying for my police academy, trying not to ignorantly violate rights.

EVERYONE in this country should learn the Constitution.
We should refresh and deepen that knowledge as a lifetime endeavor.

Law enforcement and courts arresting(seizing)American citizens and seizing their property (civil asset forfeiture) without being first found guilty in a public trial by a jury is a illegal unconstitutional violation of the 14th amendment section 1. As well as felony crimes in violation of legal law through violating and depriving American citizens constitutionally protected rights, liberties, privileges, immunities.

You help so much with my constitutional law class; very easy, simple and basic breakdowns.

Please give this a full listen:

At around 2:30 and on, the narrator talks about how Section 3 dealt with disallowing this who had participated in the Civil War as a punitive measure.

That this is from 11 years ago is critical, as it objectively shows people have always had the correct understanding as to the 14th Amendment.

Crucially, it does not encompass or contemplate any future insurrection or rebellion, as there are other provisions in the law that deal with such.

Section 3, of the 14th Amendment which has been in the news of late cannot be used to disqualify President Trump. That is the short and simply truth.

I'm here in 2024 watching this. I already knew the 14th ammendment but wanted more explanation on it and I'm glad this video was first because that context was exactly what i was looking for. It even went beyond that

[jonathangrover]

You're awesome. These videos are a huge help. Thank you!

Article 4 section 1 establishes who is a American citizen. It prohibits the state and federal government from passing or enforcing any form of laws violating or depriving any citizens constitutionally protected rights, and protects all citizens equally under the courts and law.

Wish I hadn't wasted so much time yesterday watching Dr. Phil and baby kittens sleeping vids yesterday when I could have been watching yours.

Section 5 gives Congress the authority to enforce the 14th amendment.

[stephenkingsley]

In Article 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment, you seem to have glossed over something. Seemingly, being born in the US would automatically make one a US citizen, conveniently ignoring the fact the it clearly states "being subject to the jurisdiction thereof". You mentioned native Americans not getting citizenship this way, presumably because they would be born on Indian lands (reservation) and not "in the US". However, offspring of foreign diplomats aren't automatic US citizens similarly, but because their parents are not subject to jurisdiction of US laws. Fast forward, illegal aliens born in the US, don't (or shouldn't) get automatic US citizenship, because their parents are still subjects of the laws of the original country. Yes, they aren't diplomats with immunity to US laws, but they aren't automatically subjects to all but immigration laws.

Sounds like a great topic for a lecture on Federalism, I'll put it on the DJ list. Thanks!

Mr. Hughes, amazing! Your energy level is fantastic! I have always been a student of math and science until recently I have wanted to go back and revisit history. Your videos are a fantastic journey into history indeed. Thank you so very much for posting these videos, and thank you for contributing to the most important job in the world, teaching. Thank You!

Can anyone point me to a passage explaining the rights of parents under constitutional rights?
Currently dealing with a case where an abducted child has been in foster care and the foster agency failed to notify me in a reasonable amount of time. They took over 15 months which is as far as i can see a breach of a fathers rights.
