The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is the source of an array of constitutional rights, including many of our most cherished—and most controversial. Consider the following rights that the Clause guarantees against the states:. The Fifth Amendment, however, applies only against the federal government.
After the Civil War, Congress adopted a number of measures to protect individual rights from interference by the states. When it was adopted, the Clause was understood to mean that the government could deprive a person of rights only according to law applied by a court. Yet since then, the Supreme Court has elaborated significantly on this core understanding.
The key questions are: What procedures satisfy due process? Historically, due process ordinarily entailed a jury trial. The jury determined the facts and the judge enforced the law. In past two centuries, however, states have developed a variety of institutions and procedures for adjudicating disputes. Making room for these innovations, the Court has determined that due process requires, at a minimum: 1 notice; 2 an opportunity to be heard; and 3 an impartial tribunal.
Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank In the case of Goldberg v. Mathews v. Eldridge The Bill of Rights—comprised of the first ten amendments to the Constitution—originally applied only to the federal government. Barron v. Baltimore Those who sought to protect their rights from state governments had to rely on state constitutions and laws.
One of the purposes of the Fourteenth Amendment was to provide federal protection of individual rights against the states. Early on, however, the Supreme Court foreclosed the Fourteenth Amendment Privileges or Immunities Clause as a source of robust individual rights against the states.
The Slaughter-House Cases A celebrated debate about incorporation occurred between two factions of the Supreme Court: one side believed that all of the rights should be incorporated wholesale, and the other believed that only certain rights could be asserted against the states. While the partial incorporation faction prevailed, its victory rang somewhat hollow. As a practical matter, almost all the rights in the Bill of Rights have been incorporated against the states. The analysis should be straightforward.
Since a number of countries have shifted their citizenship policies to and from jus soli, one might gain some purchase on that question by looking at the relevant demographic data in those countries over time.
Apart from any demographic effects, it seems likely that a change in policy would have strong downstream effects on national unity across ethnic groups in the United States. As we know, the jus soli provision in the 14th amendment was adopted precisely to ensure that former slaves, and their children, could enjoy their full rights as citizens — certainly a necessary but insufficient step in achieving their full integration into American society. Indeed, in measures that John Sides and I have used to tap the concept of national unity in multiethnic states, the United States fares quite well.
This stands in stark contrast to most multiethnic states in which minorities exhibit significantly less national attachment than do majority citizens. Could it be that jus soli has something to do with this? I think so. These effects stand after controlling for a host of factors, including crucially the level of pride among majority citizens in the country. These effects, if born out Sides and I are still investigating , would make jus soli citizenship one of the most effective institutional solutions to ethnic disharmony that multiethnic states have at their disposal.
Power sharing institutions like federalism and PR electoral systems are the most prescribed treatment for divided democracies.
But with respect to indicators like the national attachment of minority citizens, power-sharing institutions like federalism and proportionally representative electoral systems do not even move the needle on national unity.
