We can affirm that the fourteenth amendment establishes the principle of the "right to citizenship by birth".

Sandford (1857), who claimed that slaves and their descendants, could not enjoy the same constitutional rights as the rest of the people.

The Code aimed to provide a legal framework for slavery, to establish protocols governing the conditions of colonial inhabitants, and to end the illegal slave trade.
