      The Constitution restricts the power of the government. In this case, the 14th Amendment was created to restrict the power of the Supreme Court, which had already ruled that former slaves were not US citizens.

      Don’t lecture me about knowing what words mean, when you don’t even know why the 14th Amendment exists.
