State Ratifications of the 14th Amendment, Transmitted by President Andrew Johnson
A record of the 14th Amendment’s pivotal course to adoption, establishing birthright citizenship and requiring equal protection under the law. This Senate document prints President Andrew Johnson’s message alongside Secretary of State William H. Seward’s detailed report listing the states that ratified the Fourteenth Amendment, with certified copies of ratification resolutions from each of the States. By affirming the citizenship of African Americans, the Amendment barred states from abridging the privileges and immunities of U.S. citizens and from depriving any person of life, liberty, or property without due process.
