Rights vs. Privileges and Immunities (WAS: North American Union: New Money [NAU])

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Erica.

 

Following the close of the American Civil War, the first so-called " Civil

Rights Act " was passed in 1866. This was canonized as part of the U.S.

Constitution in 1868 when the essence of it became the 14th Amendment. What

it says, first paragraph:

___

Section. 1. 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. No State shall make or enforce any law which

shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;

nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property,

without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction

the equal protection of the laws.

___

Sounds harmless enough, yes?

 

Now this, hopefully requiring no introduction or explanation:

___

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,

that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights ....

___

What are rights? What are privileges and immunities? What does this " little

shift " in language mean?

 

If people are interested, I'll write more. I realize this is off-topic ...

unless, of course, we consider our liberty and health integrally

intertwined. I certainly do!!!

 

Best to all,

Elchanan

All men are created equal. Some are just more equal than others...

 

I'm a pretty progressive person. But just being " born " here, even if

you are in the country for a day and your parents are here illegally,

hardly should make anyone a citizen, worthy of being catered to by our

government with money that we don't have for Americans.
