The Adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment

Abstract: The first eleven Amendments to the Constitution were intended as checks or limitations on the Federal Government, due largely to the fear that the Federal Government might become too strong and centralized. The Amendments arising out of the Civil War Between the States have just the opposite effect, and finding the proper balance has been left to the courts.

Keywords: book review, constitution, law, Fourteenth Amendment, adoption, 14th amendment.
