Here are the legal particulars of the 14th Amendment in simple terms:

How the 14th Amendment Works. Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment induces a voting American to tacitly throw off his primary political allegiance to his rightful state government; this causes a breach of allegiance to his government: This is sedition and hence treason. /2\ His allegiance is then given to the de facto governmental system over his state or country's lawful government; he is then politically bound to the federal government and he is now a 'resident' (a man classified as a Denizen) of the state and is no longer a national of his country, but a national of the United States.

14th Amendment Citizenship. A United States citizen and national is considered a resident alien in every "State" (i.e. country) in which he chooses to live; he does not have natural rights which are conferred by God and protected by the original Constitution. He has rights which are granted by the federal and state governments at will, not God; accordingly, he is subject to both federal and state laws.

Due to the legal contrivance induced by Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment, all the states are in war mode. The societal law (common law, i.e. custom and usage) has virtually been suspended for anyone that participates; all United States citizens are subordinate to the de facto state legislatures and basically treated as enemies of the republic of which they "reside". Such treatment is due to their presumed breach of allegiance to their lawful state governments under the law of nations.

The Fourteenth Amendment is a cabal. It is of purpose to pull all Americans into a foreign jurisdiction, which is noted as the federal government—to impose on them—what they are constitutionally protected from under international law. It makes all Americans who condone and participate in this system are deemed residents: A "thing" of the State, that is to say a thing of the federal and state governments. /3\

The scheme is multi-pronged: It enables:

1) A mechanism for government control;

2) The base for corporations to flourish under the same protections as people;

3) The federal government to implement an income tax for the World Banking Elite;

4) Both the de facto federal and state governments to do business with/on Americans.
In example: licensing; traffic fines; social security; etc., etc.

Simply put: The Fourteenth Amendment is a subversive political cabal that is of purpose to usurp the sovereignty of the several American nations using the ignorance and consent of the people.

The Effect: GENOCIDE

The United States (federal government) was getting little support during its short period of existence. If you would investigate there were few people voting just prior to the Civil War. The Fourteenth Amendment is the instrument that had established the support for the United States through an alternate political system.

Aside the force of which took place caused by the so-called Civil War (actually, as a matter of international law: The War Between the States), the people could not be continually forced into supporting the Federal Government—or the "United States"—so they had to be tricked into supporting it. As many know, as may be referenced in the Declaration of Independence, "Governments are instituted by the consent of the governed,". Accordingly, for the United States to get support, a "mobocracy" had to be created. However, due to the American states being that of a sovereign autonomous capacity this could not be accomplished unless they were taken over through force or ignorance of the masses.

Unknown to most all people in America, the Fourteenth Amendment is the device and artifice that deceives them to surrender their national sovereignty under international law.

Section 1 of the amendment naturalizes all Americans as nationals of the United States at birth; the legal language in section 1 actually creates a dual-citizenship on Americans; such Americans are United States citizens, i.e. federal citizens and/or "United States persons", and citizens of the state in which they reside [ see Diagram 3 above ]. This in turn negates the natural rights of Americans [unalienable rights] held under the Law of Nations. /1\

Section 2 of the amendment is where the operation of law is found that executes the act of sedition against the sovereignty of the state. Understand that this had all been sold as an act of rights and humanity. However you must further understand that the main objective was just to get enough "bodies" or "persons" to elect the officials so there was legal justification for the laws established be the United States to have some force and effect.

Section 3 of the infamous amendment installs the insurgent state government[s] and it also preserves orginal constitutional principles. Again—so you have an understanding—Section 2 of the amendment empowers this usurpation governmental system.

Section 4 of the amendment prohibits Americans (US citizens) from questioning the debt. And as they are in rebellion against the original system they cannot—ergo: Income Tax

SO, THE FRAUD IS: The several American nations still exist under the Fourteenth Amendment, however it has been kept a secret from Americans. There has been no public notice given to Americans that United States citizenship is fundamentally a fraud and voluntary, nor that the several American republics do not maintain lawful national governments as they held under the organic (original) federal constitution. /4\ The scheme has been accomplished with newspeak or more commonly called sophistry, which is the clever manipulation of words. The scheme is commercially based (under private law) and it is termed: Statism:

statism... The practice or doctrine of giving a centralized government control over economic planning and policy. —American Heritage Dictionary

Statism is just another name for COMMUNISMand perhaps combined with. . .

fascism... 1. Fascism. 2. any system of government in which property is privately owned, but all industry and business is regulated by a strong national government. —Thorndike Century Senior Dictionary, 1941

The name THEY give to this scheme in America is: Cooperative Federalism

And the Common Law Maxim that applies to this new constitution and its political system:
