You have to realize it is all part of the matrix, you then begin to learn how separate yourself from the matrix. The 14th Amendment tells the story of how they have tricked us into committing treason.
Below is an explanation of how it all works against we the people.
As Thomas Jefferson said, you can't be both; ignorant and free.
Just about everybody is IGNORANT of the 14th Amendment. It says "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.".
Which means that when you live in a State, you're that State's citizen. PERIOD! When was the last time you identified yourself as a STATE CITIZEN to State officials?
Of course it may be that State citizens aren't eligible for gov't benefits like US citizens are, so you might get turned down when applying for them. But as State citizens aren't taxpayers and live in the PRIVATE, they wouldn't be eligible for gov't benefits since they don't pay for them in the form of taxes. But they also aren't gov't subjects like US citizens are.
The point is, that if you live in a State, you're absolutely entitled to claim State citizenship with all the unalienable rights it comes with.
Oh oh oh, and the 14th Am. makes you a "CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES" NOT US citizen, so you should NEVER identify yourself as US citizen, since you DON'T KNOW what that means!
I mean, only the shy and the stupid agree to be something they don't really know what it is. What a DUMB nation, huh? Even the US Constitution NEVER mentions the term "US citizen", it only talks about "Citizen of the United States".
This picture is about 14th Amendment US citizenship, and it shows you several things:
1) Federal Citizens CANNOT vote in States of the Union - they can only vote in States of the District of Columbia AKA the United States. Those States are federal CORPORATIONS bearing the name of a de jure State. That's why most States have at least TWO Constitutions. The first one as a State of the Union, and the second one as a State of the United States (federal gov't).
2) 14th Am. US citizens CAN claim State Citizenship (when they reside in a State). But nobody does that, because State Citizens are citizens of the republic (first State Constitution), are sovereign people of the State, and so are NOT eligible for gov't benefits. Only federal citizen residing in a State of US (second Constitution), are members of the federal Democracy, and since they're taxpayers, are eligible for gov't benefits.
3) There now are TWO kinds of citizenship; national (14th Amendment), and State Citizenship, as the national citizenship DID NOT replace the State one, it is just an EXTENSION of it.
So everyone has a choice; claim federal US citizenship, and be eligible for gov't benefits (but also be subject to codes and statutes), OR assert State Citizenship, be protected by the organic State Constitution as one of people of the State, but DO NOT be eligible for gov't benefits, since you are not a taxpayer. And ONLY THEN can you claim Constitutional protection of your UNALIENABLE rights, such as right to travel, and exemption from most taxes and licenses.
And while it may appear that one can claim State citizenship even as a federal national citizen, those federal citizens are SURETIES for the federal (national) debt, so they don't really own anything since all their properties is collateral behind that debt. So for freedom loving people, it'd be BEST to DUMP that national citizenship (created by a Birth Certificate), and revert to the original State Citizenship, which doesn't bear that burden, or that of being a taxpayer.
Also, all the voting that happens, is NOT in States of the Union. It ONLY regards national, 14th Am. citizens, and the corporate institutions they created within those States. You do know that all the CITIES and COUNTIES are MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS, don't you? I.e. they are NOT part of the de jure gov't of the republic. They're just a part of a DE FACTO gov't, which has ONLY authority over national citizens and by contract (commerce).
So the first State Constitution created a state of the Union, while the SECOND State Constitution created a DE FACTO State of the federal gov't (United States), which only has authority over national US citizens and commerce, but NOT over State Citizens and Inhabitants, unless there's a VERIFIED complaint by an injured party, or they engage in commerce.
Also, I hope you realize that the 14th Amendment DOES NOT need to be properly ratified, if it's only for federal areas. It'd only need to be properly ratified to apply to states of the Union. So whatever happens under United States (federal) jurisdiction does NOT need proper ratification.
In other words there are TWO US constitutions; the original constitution of the republic, and the second one, the corporate constitution of federal gov't, which COPIED the original constitution of the REPUBLIC in 1868 and added some amendments to it, which ONLY apply to 14th Am. citizens of corporate DEMOCRACY.
I.e. as a federal 14th Am. US citizen you are NOT entitled to argue that 14th Am. wasn't ratified, since you're a federal subject. ONLY State citizens would be entitled to argue that, but that is non-sequitur since it doesn't apply to them, so they have no standing to argue that either.
 In other words, up until 1868, the US constitution is COMMON to both the dejure republic and the corporate Democracy, while after 1868, most if not all Amendments are FEDERAL. That is, they ONLY apply to federal areas and federal persons (which includes US citizens). They DON'T apply to dejure State citizens.
 Like I said before, federal/US citizens are in the PUBLIC, being sureties for the federal/national debt, while State citizens are in the PRIVATE, where United States is a foreign corporation. Of course State citizens AREN'T eligible for gov't benefits; those are only for US citizens.
