Synopsis
Excerpt from The Adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment
The Supreme Court Of the United States, in the Slaugh ter House Cases, declared that the privileges and immuni ties of citizens guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment are those which they possess as citizens Of the United States and not those which they enjoy by virtue of state citizenship. This decision means that those privileges and immunities which flow from state citizenship must rest for their security and protection where they have heretofore rested, namely, upon the States. In Maxwell w. Dow the Court declared that the privileges and immunities Of citi zens Of the United States do not include those enumerated in, and secured against violation on the part of the Central Government by the first eight Amendments to the Federal Constitution. The same Court, in the Civil Rights Cases, declared that Congress cannot enact direct, affirmative leg islation for the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment and can enact only remedial legislation.
