First there was the Civil Rights Act of 1866, but it was realized that it could be legally

challenged. Therefore its provisions were incorporated into a constitutional amendment. The first and most significant secio of the Fourteenth Amendment

stated : " All persons born or naturalized in the United States...are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. ..." ( Technically the 14th amd.

was never ratified, although it's accepted as law.)
