But, Mr. Rawles logic is flawed for the same reason that Mr. Kents argument falls apart. When Rawles make this statement, Slaves are born, yet not citizens. Indians are born, yet not citizens.
So Kent and Rawles are both making claims that directly contradict the reality of the society that they live in.
His statement, on its face, is false. He may wish it were true, but it is demonstrably false.
You are as entitled to your opinions as Jay, Ramsay, Swift, Kent and Rawles were to theirs but the fact remains that: “The Constitution does not say in words who shall be natural born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to determine that.”— Minor v. Happersett, 1874.
