1- It subverts the original understanding of “posterity” by extending citizenship rights to groups far outside the Founders’ intended political community, without the consent of the people through constitutional amendment.
2- It does more than the 14th Amendment itself, and thus violates the principle that only constitutional amendments, not regular statutes, may redefine the boundaries of national membership and identity.
Moreover, the Act also violated the Equal Protection Principle (Fifth Amendment) and the Uniform Rule of Naturalization (Article I, Section 8, Clause 4).
Final reminder 14A did not authorize Congress to remake the national identity wholesale by opening naturalization to groups that had been explicitly excluded for more than a century. A salient proof of this is the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 (as in feather, not poo pajeet)
