8:01 PM Lisa has joined

 me: YOU HERE, LISA?

  OK LETS GET STARTED.

8:02 PM LOOKING OVER THE UNIT, IT SEEMS THAT THE AREAS OF MOST CONCERN ARE SELECTIVE INCORPORATION AND RIGHT TO PRIVACY, CORRECT?

 me: .........

 jennylamx93: yes

  LETS START WITH THE 14TH AMENDMENT.

  .....

8:04 PM AFTER THE CIVIL WAR, THE NORTHERNERS WERE WORRIED THAT THE SOUTHERN STATES WOULD DEPRIVE THE NEWLY FREED SLAVES OF THEIR RIGHTS.

  ......

  SO THEY CRAFTED THE 14TH AMENDMENT.

  ......

  .....

  WHAT ARE THEY?

8:05 PM tran.seph: natural born citizenshp

  equal protection

  selective incoropration

  NATURAL BORN CITIZENSHIP WAS DESIGNED TO OVERTURN THE DRED SCOTT DECISION.

  ....

8:06 PM Lisa: HERE

 tran.seph: the selective incorporation part cam a while afte the ratification right?

 me: RIGHT....IN THE 14TH AMEND, IT IS CALLED "DUE PROCESS"

8:07 PM THE DUE PROCESS CLAUSE OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT SAID THAT STATES COULD NOT DEPRIVE INDIVIDUALS OF RIGHTS WITHOUT DUE PROCESS.

  .....

  THIS OPENED THE DOOR FOR SELECTIVE INCORPORATION...

  .......

8:08 PM RIGHTS 1-8 ARE FULLY/MECHANICALLY INCORPORATED.

  OTHERS ARE PARTIALLY INCORPORATED

  .......

8:09 PM THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY COMES OUT OF THIS SELECTIVE INCORPORATION.

  .......

  .....

  HE SUED, CLAIMING THAT WAS "CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT."

  .....

8:29 PM SUPREME COURT AGREED, SAYING THERE WAS "AN EVOLVING STANDARD OF DECENCY."

  .....

  REMOVING CITIZENSHIP WAS ONCE CONSIDERED FINE,

  NOW, CRUEL.

  .....

  OUR STANDARDS HAVE EVOLVED.

  SEE?

 tran.seph: it doesnt sound that cruel...

  but yeah

8:30 PM me: WELL, HE WOULD BE A MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY, UNABLE TO RETURN HOME.
