Excerpt from The Privileges and Immunities of State Citizenship It was undoubtedly the object of the clause in question to place the citizens of each State upon the same footing with citizens of other States, so far as the advantages resulting from citizenship in those States are concerned. It relieves them from the disabilities of alienage in other States; it inhibits discriminating legislation against them by other States; it gives them the right of free ingress into other States and egress from them. It insures to them in other States the same freedom possessed by the citizens of those States in the acquisition and enjoyment of property and in the pursuit of happiness; and it secures to them in other States the equal protection of the laws. It has been justly said that no provision in the Consti tution has tended so strongly to constitute the citizens of the United States one people as this.5 Indeed, without some provision of the kind removing from the citizens of each State the disabilities of alienage in the other States, the Republic would have constituted little more than a league of States; it would not have constituted the Union which now exists.

Excerpt from The Adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment The Supreme Court Of the United States, in the Slaugh ter House Cases, declared that the privileges and immuni ties of citizens guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment are those which they possess as citizens Of the United States and not those which they enjoy by virtue of state citizenship. This decision means that those privileges and immunities which flow from state citizenship must rest for their security and protection where they have heretofore rested, namely, upon the States. In Maxwell w. Dow the Court declared that the privileges and immunities Of citi zens Of the United States do not include those enumerated in, and secured against violation on the part of the Central Government by the first eight Amendments to the Federal Constitution. The same Court, in the Civil Rights Cases, declared that Congress cannot enact direct, affirmative leg islation for the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment and can enact only remedial legislation.

Excerpt from The Fundamentals of American Government: Including the Great Documents on Which Its Institutions Are Founded and the Statutes Relating to Naturalization and Expatriation, With an Introduction and Explanatory Notes The title of the book shows what it is, or, at least, what it is intended to be. It is prepared primarily for the information of foreigners intending to become Ameri can citizens; but it is hoped that it will also be useful to experienced citizens, and to native Americans coming into citizenship. The chief purpose of the book is the presentation in convenient form of the four great docu ments which compose the foundation of our government, namely, Magna Charta, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution of the United States. These have been preceded by a gen eral introduction, in which I have tried to set forth, as briefly as practicable, the elements of our system of gov ernment, the relations sustained by the states to one another and to the nation, and also some Observations on the rights, privileges, immunities, and duties of citizens.
