I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was recognized by the time the 14th Amendment passed?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Other debates center on the principle of the law of the land in America being defined not just by the Constitution's Supremacy Clause, but also by legal precedence, making an accurate reading of the Constitution subject to the mores and values of a given era, and rendering the concept of historical revisionism irrelevant when discussing the Constitution.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
