Sure I will.

“In Minor v. Happersett, 21 Wall. 162, this court held that the word ‘citizen’ is often used to convey the idea of membership in a nation, and, in that sense, women, if born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction of the United States, have always been considered citizens of the United States, as much so before the adoption of the fourteenth amendment of the constitution as since;”

What exactly are you trying to show by that.
I asked you to show me where the court in Minor states that her parents were American Citizens.

Give me the EXACT sentence.

Fuller wrote Lockwood. He also wrote the dissent in Wong Kim Ark.He never mentions that Minor decided the issue .he never says it set precedent. When he mentions Minor it is in the context of not having decided a certain issue.
