How did the slaughterhouse cases and us v Cruikshank affect scope of 14th amendment?
The Slaughterhouse Cases (1873) and U.S. v. Cruikshank (1876) significantly narrowed the scope of the 14th Amendment, particularly concerning its protections of individual rights against state infringement. In the Slaughterhouse Cases, the Supreme Court ruled that the 14th Amendment's Privileges or Immunities Clause only protected a limited set of rights related to national citizenship, not state citizenship. Similarly, in Cruikshank, the Court held that the federal government could not protect citizens from private acts of violence, limiting the amendment's application to state actions. Together, these rulings weakened the federal government's ability to enforce civil rights, particularly for African Americans in the post-Reconstruction era.
