What is the role of the 14th amendment as it pertains to the national and state governments?
What are the national and state governments? Where do these governments find their authority? Before the 14th amendment they found their power in the people and were granted limited authority by the people. After the 14th Amendment who is granting who power and authority? Where does the federal and states power come from today? If we are a government of the people, for the people and by the people then how does a government get away with granting us rights we all ready have? Is there a connection between the 14th Amendment and the unprecedented power the three branches of government granted limited power have gained? Do we the people still hold the inherent political power or have we abdicated our authority to a bureaucracy?
