You do realize the 1802 law restricts immigration to free white persons, right?Did you read your own post?the United States Naturalization Law of 1790 was in effect for nearly 70 years before the 14th was enacted.
It could only NULLIFY the United States Naturalization Law at that time.
You really should have quit while you were only lagging behind the short bus kids.
Naturalization Act of 1790 - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The Act of 1790 was superseded by the Naturalization Act of 1795, which extended the residence requirement to five years, and by the Naturalization Act of 1798, which extended it to 14 years. The 1798 act was repealed by theNaturalization Law of 1802.0
Major changes to the definition of citizenship were ratified in the nineteenth century following the American Civil War. The Fourteenth Amendment in 1868 granted citizenship to people born within the United States and subject to its jurisdiction regardless of their parents' race, citizenship, or place of birth, but it excluded untaxed Indians (those living on reservations).
That is how the system works.
Too bad you really are clueless when it comes to Social Studies 101.

"So the Act of 1790 was de facto nullified just 5 years later."
FIVE years?
"The Act of 1790 was superseded by the Naturalization Act of 1795, which extended the residence requirement to five years, and by the Naturalization Act of 1798, which extended it to 14 years. The 1798 act was repealed by theNaturalization Law of 1802"
No wonder people laugh at you
Your ignorance over basic terminology like "superseded" is why I am laughing at you.
