Citizenship Clause
The Citizenship Clause is the first sentence of Section 1 in the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which states that ''"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 wherein they reside."'' This clause represented Congress's reversal of a portion of the ''Dred Scott v. Sandford'' decision which had declared that African Americans were not and could not become citizens of the United States or enjoy any of the privileges and immunities of citizenship.
The Civil Rights Act of 1866 had already granted U.S. citizenship to all persons born in the United States "not subject to any foreign power". The 39th Congress proposed the principle underlying the Citizenship Clause due to concerns expressed about the constitutionality of the Civil Rights Act during floor debates in Congress.〔''(Congressional Globe )'', 1st Session, 39th Congress, pt. 1, p. 597.〕〔''(Congressional Globe )'', 1st Session, 39th Congress, pt. 4, p. 2896.〕 The framers of the Fourteenth Amendment sought to entrench the principle in the Constitution in order to prevent its being struck down by the Supreme Court or repealed by a future Congress.〔〔''United States v. Wong Kim Ark'', .〕
