All persons who are born in the United States are citizens and no state can make a law which takes away or amends the rights of citizens. No one can be a Senator or Representative or hold any elected office if they have rebelled against the Union unless a two-thirds majority of Congress votes to forgive the disability.

How does an amendment proposed to the Canadian constitution become a law?
There are two amendment formulas is the Canadian constitution. Most of the constitution can be amended with the general amendment formula. However, amendments to some parts of the constitution require the special amendment formula. The general amendment formula requires assent by the Senate, the House of Commons, and the legislatures of two thirds of the provinces, together representing at least half of the Canadian population. The special amendment formula requires assent by the Senate, the House of Commons, and unanimous assent by all provincial legislatures. If the Senate does not assent to the amendment, it can still be proclaimed as law if 180 days after first passing a resolution of assent to the amendment, the House of Commons again passes a resolution of assent. Changes to the powers of a provincial government or legislature cannot pass if the legislature of the province in question dissents to the amendment without later assenting to it. The Canadian Parliament and the provinces can unilaterally change their own constitutions except for some matters which are reserved for either the general amendment formula or the unanimous amendment formula.

Did the passage of the fifteenth amendment mark the end of the American anti-slavery society as its work was now complete?
No. The anti slavery movement found completion of its goals with the passage of the 13th Amendment and both the 14th and 15th Amendment are wholly unnecessary. The 15th Amendment seeks to grant former slaves the right to vote, yet being free and emancipated by the 13th Amendment those former slaves, who all ready possessed natural rights even before the passage of the 13th Amendment did not need a 15th Amendment to guarantee them the right to vote. Being a whole person as opposed to a "three fifths" person should have solidified the former slaves opportunity to vote. If they were being denied that opportunity by criminals who sought to prevent the former slaves from being free, a simple law prohibiting such activities would have sufficed. Amendments are found in the Bill of Rights where certain natural rights are acknowledged and not granted, that is until the passage of the 14th and 15th Amendments. These two Amendments are horrible and bungled attempts to rectify the "three fifths" nonsense, but the 13th Amendment all ready did this. Now we have two examples of legal precedent where the government is granting to people the natural rights they all ready possessed.
What two amendments are both close in the protection of speech and press?
The First amendment protects both speech and press, but applies only to the Federal Government. The 14th amendment applies the bill of rights (amendments 1-10) to the state and local governments, making sure that no one can infringe upon your freedom of speech, and press (or any other amendment).
Is it true the state law is superior to national law when the two conflict?
