The original Constitution called for the census of the whole number of free persons. and then article 14 came along. and in the second sentence it talks about citizens and the rights of citizens. Then in the third sentence. in amendment number 14. it talks about counting the whole number of persons in each State. Clearly. the 14th amendment makes a distinction. Then I heard my friend from North Carolina. Senator HELMS. say we would not let illegal aliens vote. As a matter of fact. in our States originallyI am not sure about the newer States like New Mexicobut in Tennessee and Illinois we permitted Illegal aliens to vote. We. in Illinois. permitted it until 1848. If you were a man. a male. you could vote.
