FAQ
Equal Protection and Corporations One of the strangest twists in American constitutional law was the moment that corporations gained personhood under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
The disqualification clause of the Fourteenth Amendment prevents public officials who engage in treason from holding a future public office. This amendment dates back to the Reconstruction Era to prevent members of the Confederacy from resuming power after the Civil War ended.
The three states that rejected the Amendment before later ratifying it were Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The two states that ratified the Amendment and later sought to rescind their ratifications were New Jersey and Ohio.
Adopted after the American Civil War in 1868, Section 3, known as the Disqualification Clause, prohibited former Confederate soldiers and politicians who had rebelled against the victorious Union from holding future office.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State ...
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; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Amend. XIV, § 3. Section 3 further provides that Congress may remove the bar from an otherwise disqualifed person by a two-thirds vote in each House.
Section 3 Senate The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.
The provision disqualifies former government officials from holding office if they took an oath to support the Constitution but then betrayed it by engaging in an insurrection.
