2 classes of citizenship in US.Why aren't most folks aware they're "defacto" citizens? Not common law citzs.


#1 Article IV,section 2 of US constitution (de-jure) rightful CommonLaw Citizenship; #2 14th amendment of US const.(defacto)as a matter of fact although not rightful,citizenship created for emancipated ***** slaves allowing them also federal benefits.Why did everyone become deFacto citizens and waive their "unalienable Rights" for a few mere Federal benefits and Admiralty Maritime International law jurisdiction over them(law of the sea)Which used to stop at saltwater line.No real constitutional protection.(artificial citizenship)using unlawful money substance and under ever tightening gov't scrutiny.Largest jail pop in the world.Only government granted priveledges by license.On and on

Where did you pick this? from the dumb laws? there were rules for the times. Things have changes, we have no such law that exists which are racially biased.

You're mixing up classes of citizenship with different protections afforded to citizens.

Yes, there are different classes of citizenship, which differ only in how they are gained. Someone born in the US (or on US soil, which is slightly broader) is a natural citizen. Someone who gains US citizenship after coming here is a naturalized citizen. But both have the same rights.

The two sections of the constitution you are naming refer to the two Privileges and Immunities clauses, which protect different things.

Art 4, Sec 2 is the original P&I clause, and "The Citizens of each State shall entitled to all the Privileges and Immunities of citizens in the several States." This means that one state cannot allow something for its own citizens (residents) and total prohibit for citizens (residents) of another state. It also grants implicity that everyone is a citzen of their State of residence.

This comes up most often when dealing with commercial (business) rights or other fundamental rights. For example, a state cannot grant a business license to its own residents for $25 and charge $250 dollars to someone from another state. As always, there are some exceptions.

14th Amendment says: "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 in which they Reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States..."

Prior to enactment of the 14th (1868), some had argued that Art 4 Sec 2 only granted state citizenship, and there was no federal citizenship because it was not explicitly mentioned. The civil war decided that issue when it established federal citizenship and the unity of the US federal government, and then the 14th Amendment explicitly said that anyone who is a citizen of one of the United States is a citizen of the US in general.

If you want to argue de facto ('of fact') versus de jure ('of right') then as of 1791, we only had de jure citizenship at the state level and de facto citizenship at the federal level, but after 1868 everyone ("born or naturalized") had de jure citizenship at both state and federal levels.

Or to answer your question, why did everyone's citizenship get defined by the 14th Amendment in 1868? Because it was an amendment to the US Constitution, which defined everyone's citizenship, and created the equal protection clause.
