The law books for how natural

The law books for how natural born was defined at the time the founders wrote the constitution has been posted many times. look it up, as some of us have been re-posting the same information for years.

Most citizenship before the 14th was determined by Jus Sanguinus, by the parents, not where you were born. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_sanguinis

The 14th didn't change natural born citizenship. In fact, it was a naturalization act specifically passed for recently freed slaves to ensure they had state citizenship that the States couldn't affect, and the idea of anchor babies is completely repugnant to it's actual purpose if you read up on it.

The book Law of Nations,” by Emerich de Vattel, 1758, defines natural born, and a copy of it was in use with the justices of the supreme court from the same time period the Constitution was passed. You can also look up Blackstone's discussion of citizenship, keeping in mind that 'subject' and 'sovereign citizen' are different terms.

Also, "national" citizenship didn't exist before the 14th amendment. We were founded a federation of States, each essentially an independent country and having their own citizenship requirements. Neverless, you weren't find natural born citizenship changed in the 14th amendment. It doesn't mention it, and wasn't it's purpose.

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
