The fifth amendment doesn’t specify “citizens only”. It says “people”.
OH MY GAWD
Are you saying that the framers intent was for the Constitution Of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA was meant to cover NON-citizens?
“All men are endowed …” is hard to argue with.
But, yeah … I think the framers thought about it … and it probably has some connection to previous law-charters (the Maga Carta, for one).
I don’t know the intricacies, but you don’t get to beat a man because he is in this country illegally.
