15	The Bill of Rights was created as an additional layer of protection against federal intrusion into state and citizen’s rights. The incorporation of the Bill of Rights (or incorporation for short) is the process by which American courts have applied portions of the U.S. Bill of Rights to the states. In the past, the Bill of Rights was held only to apply to the federal government. Our federal court system, however, has been applying the Federal Bill of Rights back against the states denying states their own historical rights. The states have their own charters of rights contained in their constitutions to protect their citizens from any state violations.

	Choose the answer the most closely matches your own beliefs.
26	The 14th Amendment says: ”All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the state wherein they reside.” The Congressional Record of those who wrote this amendment, and also four years later in the Supreme Court case: Slaughterhouse Cases, 83 U.S. 16 Wall. 36 36 (1872), both stated that: “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” did not include people from foreign nations coming here having children who were loyal to their nation and subject to its authority. Women coming here from Mexico illegally and having children, now considered as citizens and anchor babies, is illegal because it is outside of the authority and against the original intent of the 14th Amendment.
