President. the Supreme Court of the United States in the Kansas cases gave most admirable and sturdy expression to the doctrines which recognize and support the supremacy of the police powers of the States. Since the decisions in the license cases and in other like cases. the Constitution of the United States has been amended in several important particulars. Not the least important of these amendments is the fourteenth. the first section of which provides as follows. namely: All persons born or naturalized in the United States. and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. norshall any State deprive any person of life. liberty. or property without due process of law. nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. In the Kansas cases this amendment was interposed by the parties proceeded against for violations of the prohibitory law of that State as a protection against its extreme effect.
