Hmm...Citizenship is defined in the Constitution itself - Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 gives congress the power to determine citizenship. The Constitution does say that anyone living in the United States upon ratification is a US citizen. Also note that citizenship for Black Americans is solidified in the Fourteenth Amendment, which overturned the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision.
