Why "Privileges Or Immunities"? An Explanation Of The Framers' Intent, William J. Rich
Why "Privileges Or Immunities"? An Explanation Of The Framers' Intent, William J. Rich
Akron Law Review
In the Slaughter-House Cases, Justice Field accused the majority of turning the Fourteenth Amendment’s Privileges or Immunities Clause into a “vain and idle enactment which accomplished nothing,” and Justice Swayne argued that the majority “turn[ed] . . . what was meant for bread into a stone.” Most contemporary commentators appear to agree... Did the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment make a colossal mistake? Or were Justices Field and Swayne correct when they blamed Justice Miller’s majority opinion in Slaughter-House for leading the nation astray? Answers to these questions, in the pages that follow, are “no” to the first, and a …
The Union As It Wasn't And The Constitution As It Isn't: Section Five And Altering The Balance Of Powers, Elizabeth Reilly
The Union As It Wasn't And The Constitution As It Isn't: Section Five And Altering The Balance Of Powers, Elizabeth Reilly
Akron Law Review
This article argues that in reconstituting that Union, the 39th Congress and the Fourteenth Amendment not only altered the fundamental structural principles of the relationship between the states and the national government and the responsibility of government to protect individual liberties. It argues that the original structural alignment of national powers and the boundaries of their respective spheres were also, of necessity and by understanding, recast as well.
The Legacy Of Slaughterhouse, Bradwell, And Cruikshank In Constitutional Interpretation, Wilson R. Huhn
The Legacy Of Slaughterhouse, Bradwell, And Cruikshank In Constitutional Interpretation, Wilson R. Huhn
Akron Law Review
The conclusions that the Court drew about the meaning of the 14th Amendment shortly after its adoption were contrary to the intent of the framers of that Amendment and a betrayal of the sacrifices which had been made by the people of that period. In each case, the Court perverted the meaning of the Constitution in ways that reverberate down to the present day...In these cases the Court ruled upon several critical aspects of 14th Amendment jurisprudence, including (1) Whether the 14th Amendment prohibits the States from interfering with our fundamental rights; (2) How the equality of different groups should …

The 39th Congress (1865-1867) And The 14th Amendment: Some Preliminary Perspectives, Richard L. Aynes
Akron Law Review
This article is a preliminary effort to tell the story of the people who brought the nation the 14th Amendment, the 39th Congress...I want to suggest that when someone creates the Hall of Fame of the Congresses we need to include the 39th Congress.

Infinite Hope - Introduction To The Symposium: The 140th Anniversary Of The Fourteenth Amendment, Elizabeth Reilly
Akron Law Review
This symposium celebrates the 140th anniversary of ratification. The anniversary provides us with a fruitful occasion to reflect upon the meaning of the Amendment to its Framers in Congress and as it was initially interpreted by the United States Supreme Court and the public, and to examine the lasting impacts of both conceptions...Therefore, our participants explicitly discuss applying their understanding of history to the modern implications of the Fourteenth Amendment and current law. Understanding the Amendment, especially because of its early reception by the Court, requires looking at law, history, political science, and sociology, among other disciplines, to try to …
The Fourteenth Amendment And The Unconstitutionality Of Secession, Daniel A. Farber
The Fourteenth Amendment And The Unconstitutionality Of Secession, Daniel A. Farber
Akron Law Review
To understand fully the relevance of the first two clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to secession, we need to examine the antebellum disputes about citizenship and sovereignty, the subject of Part II below. Issues about citizenship arose in the context of specific disputes about naturalization, expatriation, and the rights of freedmen, but they implicated conflicts over the seat of allegiance and the nature of the Union. Part III turns to the Reconstruction debates and shows how they reflect a fundamentally nationalistic view of citizenship. The Reconstruction Amendments to the Constitution were connected with a powerful vision of national citizenship and …
