How Can I Prove I’m Not a 14th Amendment US Citizen?

Many Americans don’t realize there are actually two kinds of citizenship in the United States. While most people assume that being a “U.S. citizen” is the only legal status available, there’s another path — one rooted in the original constitutional Republic. It's called being a State National, a birthright status that predates the federal system and exists outside its jurisdiction.
The truth is, nearly everyone was automatically enrolled into the federal system as a 14th Amendment US citizen — not by informed consent, but through a quiet process involving birth certificate registration. This shift moved people from sovereign nationals of their home states into corporate franchise status under Washington, D.C.'s jurisdiction. And most people never even knew it happened.
In this article, we’ll break down what it means to be a 14th Amendment citizen, why that status matters in today’s legal and political climate, and how you can begin the process of lawfully proving that you’re not one — reclaiming your true standing as a State National.
What Is a 14th Amendment US Citizen?
After the Civil War, in 1868, the U.S. Congress passed the 14th Amendment to the Constitution — and with it, something subtle but deeply transformative occurred. The amendment introduced a new class of federal citizenship that didn’t exist before: “citizens of the United States.”
This wasn’t the same as the original State Citizenship under the constitutional Republic. It was a new kind of status tied directly to the federal government — and it came with a shift in jurisdiction, rights, and obligations. Most people today are automatically categorized under this newer, corporate-aligned citizenship without ever realizing it.
Two Kinds of Citizenship: A Legal Distinction
Contrary to popular belief, the U.S. legal system does recognize two types of citizenship:
Citizenship Type | Definition |
State Citizen / State National | Your original, birthright political status — tied to your state and the land, not the federal government. |
Federal U.S. Citizen | A status created by the 14th Amendment — subject to Washington D.C.’s jurisdiction and commercial codes. |
State Nationals are sovereign individuals under natural law and the Constitution, while 14th Amendment citizens are seen as franchise entities — bound by statutes, regulations, and obligations that serve federal interests.
What the Supreme Court Says
Several landmark Supreme Court cases have affirmed that these two types of citizenship are distinct and recognized by law:
Slaughter-House Cases (1873):“It is quite clear… that there is a citizenship of the United States, and a citizenship of a state, which are distinct from each other…”
United States v. Cruikshank (1875):“There is… a government of each of the several States and a government of the United States. Each is distinct from the other and has citizens of its own.”
These rulings establish the legal foundation for dual citizenships in America — and confirm that your status is not fixed, but rather based on jurisdiction and consent.
Why Most Americans Were Classified as 14th Amendment Citizens
Most Americans didn’t choose to become 14th Amendment US citizens — they were simply assigned that status without ever being told. How did it happen? The answer lies in the paper trail most people never think twice about.
Birth Certificate Registration: The Corporate Creation
When your parents registered your birth certificate, a legal entity was created in your name — usually spelled in ALL CAPS (e.g., JOHN DOE). This version of your name isn’t just a formatting choice. It represents a corporate fiction, a commercial entity that exists in the public, statutory world.
This entity is tied to federal jurisdiction — not the land or law of the Republic — and is presumed to operate under commercial law, not common law or constitutional protections.
Social Security Numbers and Government Contracts
Shortly after birth registration, most Americans are issued a Social Security Number. This number becomes your ID within the federal corporate system. From banking to taxes to employment, this number is used in nearly all interactions — and every time it is, you are participating as a “U.S. citizen” under the rules of the 14th Amendment.
Add in things like driver’s licenses, voter registration, and government benefit applications — and it becomes clear that most people are deeply embedded in contracts with the federal system that they never fully understood.
Presumed Consent: The Silent Agreement
Here’s the key: the federal government assumes you consent to being a 14th Amendment citizen unless you formally rebut that presumption.
In law, silence is often interpreted as agreement. Because most people never challenge the assumption, they are legally treated as if they’ve agreed to the federal citizenship status — even if they had no idea it existed.
The good news? You can rebut it. You have the lawful right to assert your true standing and exit the system — and that’s what we’ll explore next.
The Lawful Right to Correct Your Status
The foundation of American freedom is simple: government only has power with your consent. That’s not a slogan — it’s written directly into the Declaration of Independence:
“Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
This means if you were placed into a political status without your knowledge or full understanding, you are absolutely within your rights to withdraw that consent and correct the record.
Fraud Nullifies Everything
One of the most powerful principles in law is this:
“Fraud vitiates everything it touches.” — United States v. Throckmorton, 98 U.S. 61 (1878)
If your citizenship status was assigned through fraudulent presumption — like registering your birth without explaining the legal consequences, or making you believe you had no other option — then that contract is voidable. You have every legal right to rescind it and restore your true standing.
You Have a Right to Self-Determination — Internationally Protected
Beyond the U.S. Constitution, international law upholds your right to choose your political identity:
Legal Source | What It Protects |
Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) | Article 15: Everyone has the right to a nationality — and the right to change it. |
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) | Article 1: All peoples have the right of self-determination. |
These laws are binding on all UN member states, including the United States. They affirm that no one can force you into a political status — and you are fully empowered to correct it through peaceful, lawful means.
Supreme Court Affirms Your Right to Change Status
The U.S. Supreme Court agrees. In the case of Afroyim v. Rusk (1967), the Court declared:
“The right to expatriate, to change one's nationality, is a natural right, recognized by the law of nations.”
This means you are not bound by a citizenship label simply because it was applied to you at birth. You have the constitutional and lawful authority to change your political allegiance — especially if that original assignment was made without your knowledge or consent.
Correcting your status isn’t “anti-government” — it’s about restoring your proper jurisdiction under the original Republic, based on your natural rights, not corporate contracts.
How to Prove You’re Not a 14th Amendment US Citizen
(For Educational Purposes Only — This is Not Legal Advice)
Once you understand your true status and the rights you were born with, the next step is to lawfully declare and document your intent. This process doesn’t involve “renouncing citizenship” — it’s about correcting a presumption and restoring your birthright as a State National.
Affidavit of Repudiation (AOR): Lawfully Notifying the System
The journey starts with creating an Affidavit of Truth, often referred to as the AOR (Affidavit of Repudiation of Citizenship). This is a sworn declaration stating:
You are not a 14th Amendment US citizen.
You are exercising your right to self-determination.
You are reclaiming your political status as a State National.
It serves as your lawful notice — a formal, written rebuttal of the presumption that you consent to being a federal citizen.
Recording: Placing Your Status on the Public Record
Once the affidavit is signed and notarized, it must be recorded with your County Clerk under “miscellaneous affidavits.” This places your declaration into the public record, where it becomes self-authenticating evidence of your status.
When recorded properly, your affidavit cannot be ignored — it becomes part of your lawful identity.
Default Judgment: Silence Means Agreement
Here’s where the process becomes powerful.
After mailing your affidavit to the Secretary of State via certified mail (with return receipt), you allow 30 business days for a rebuttal.
If no rebuttal is received, you issue a Notice of Default Judgment.
This creates a binding legal record — the affidavit stands as truth in law due to unrebutted silence.
In legal terms: Unrebutted affidavits are considered fact.
Passport Process: Aligning Documents with Status
For many, the next step is applying for a passport using Form DS-11 — but with a twist:
Check “No” on boxes that ask if you are a “U.S. Citizen.”
Attach a certified copy of your recorded affidavit.
Do not list U.S. citizen parentage.
This signals to the passport agency that you are operating in a different jurisdiction — not under federal corporate status. In most cases, clerks will attach your affidavit to the application, giving you a passport that aligns with your State National standing.
Living the Status: Standing in Honor, Operating Privately
Correcting your status is just the beginning. Living as a State National means:
Exercising rights (not government-granted privileges).
Learning to stand in honor and without conflict.
Operating in the private, through trusts, PMAs, and non-commercial means.
You don’t argue or fight the system — you lawfully separate from it and walk your own path, backed by the Constitution and international law.
Frequently Asked Questions About Proving Your Status
For those new to the idea of correcting political status, it’s natural to have questions — especially when it comes to rights, benefits, and legal implications. Let’s address a few of the most common ones.
Will I Lose My Social Security, Retirement, or VA Benefits?
No. These are private contracts between you and the institutions involved — often tied to your ALL CAPS name (your corporate entity), not your living, breathing self.
You are not revoking these contracts unless you explicitly notify those agencies and renounce your participation — which is not part of the standard AOR process.
✅ You can remain eligible for retirement, VA, and Social Security benefits while lawfully correcting your status.
Can I Still Get a Passport or Travel Internationally?
Yes. In fact, the passport process is an important part of proving your status as a State National. When you apply:
Use Form DS-11
Attach your certified, recorded affidavit
Check “No” on questions regarding U.S. citizenship
By doing this properly, your affidavit becomes part of your legal record, and the passport office is required to accept and attach it.
Many State Nationals travel freely using a passport obtained this way — no restrictions, no issues.
Is This Illegal or “Anti-Government”?
Absolutely not. Correcting your political status is a lawful, peaceful process protected by:
The Declaration of Independence
The U.S. Constitution
International law (like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights)
U.S. Supreme Court rulings confirming your right to change nationality
This is not rebellion — it's restoration. You’re simply exiting a system you never knowingly joined, and reclaiming the God-given rights you were born with.
Lawful self-determination is not anti-government — it is the foundation of true liberty.
Why Proving Your Status Matters
Correcting your status isn’t just about paperwork — it’s about reclaiming your authority over your life, your body, your property, and your future. When you stand as a State National, you stand on a foundation of law, truth, and spiritual sovereignty.
You’re Protected From Unlawful IRS Overreach
One of the biggest benefits of status correction is being able to lawfully rebut IRS jurisdiction. As a 14th Amendment citizen, you are treated as a commercial taxpayer — assumed to be involved in taxable federal activity.
But as a non-corporate private national, you have the lawful right to opt out of certain tax obligations — especially when supported by evidence like your Affidavit of Status and Form 56. This doesn’t mean avoiding responsibility — it means exiting fraudulent assumptions.
You Gain Standing in Courtrooms
Jurisdiction is everything in law. Most people lose in court not because they’re wrong — but because the court assumes they’re a federal subject with no standing to object.
When you’ve corrected your status:
You can challenge jurisdiction confidently
You can demand verified claims and proof of authority
You are not presumed to be a 14th Amendment US citizen under commercial law
No more being dragged into administrative courts without recourse.
You Are No Longer Corporate Property
Under federal citizenship, your name, labor, and even your body are treated like collateral — part of the national debt system. You are assigned a number, regulated under codes, and viewed as an asset.
By proving your true status, you withdraw that consent.
You’re no longer “owned,” tracked, or traded. You’re living privately, by choice — not by default.
You Reclaim Your Identity as a Sovereign Child of God
At its core, status correction is a spiritual act. It’s a public declaration that:
Your rights come from God, not government
Your allegiance is to the Constitutional Republic, not a corporate democracy
You will no longer be silent in the face of fraud and tyranny
This is about living in honor, peace, and lawful power — not fear or dependency.
Conclusion
The difference between a State National and a 14th Amendment US citizen isn’t just a theory — it’s well-documented in constitutional, international, and Supreme Court law. Two distinct political statuses exist in America, and you have the lawful right to choose which one applies to you.
If you were never told you were signed into a federal corporate system at birth, you’re not alone. But now that you know the truth, you also have the God-given authority to correct the record. Through lawful notice, public documentation, and peaceful action, you can prove your status and live free — without fear, without contracts you never agreed to, and without being treated as corporate property.
The next step is yours to take. Learn the process. Declare your standing. Record your truth. And walk with honor — not as a number in a system, but as a free man or woman under the original Republic.
The Republic will be restored — one soul at a time.
