    Please read why the 14th amendment extended the bill of rights to apply to people…

      That’s not what the 14th amendment does

      The 14th provides birthright citizenship, outlines that states won’t imprison people without due process, covers congressional proportionality, and makes insurrection/treason cause for not being eligible for office

      Seriously, take a constitutionality class, you need it

        I pray you actually read what people point you too:

        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

          That explicitly states that the States cannot punish people without due process, it does not change that the constitution has always applied to individuals

          You’re looking at an amendment that’s targeting the end of slavery and incorrectly applying it to all people

            Due process includes the process of your ballot eligibility being reviewed, and then denied, based on things that are prima facie.
