The clause made ineffective by the 1873 Supreme Court ruling in the case of United States v. Cruikshank is the Privileges or Immunities Clause. This ruling significantly limited the federal government's ability to protect the rights of citizens from infringement by the states, effectively nullifying the clause's intended purpose of safeguarding individual rights against state action. As a result, the protections guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment were largely left to state interpretation and enforcement.
