Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution
Section 1. 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; nor shall 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.
Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respec-
tive numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But
when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of
the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or
the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, be-
ing twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for
participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the
proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens
twenty-one years of age in such State.
Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice
President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having
previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member
of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution
of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or
comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such
disability.
Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts in-
curred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall
not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation
incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or eman-
cipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of
this article.

Keeping Adversaries at Bay
Alika Mosley is a Portland na-
tive who has embarked on military
career she knows is part of a leg-
acy that will last beyond her life-
time.
As a Petty Officer 3rd Class
master-at-arms with the Com-
mander of Submarine Group Nine
at the Kitsap-Bangor Naval Base
in Washington near Seattle, Mos-
ley is responsible for law enforce-
ment and overall security on Navy
installations.
“I enjoy my community, we
work pretty intense and rigorous
duties and that brings us closer
together,” she said. “Submariners
are a very close-knit group, closer
than surface sailors for sure. They
want to help each other to the best
of their ability at all costs.”
Mosley graduated from high
school in Virginia in 2012, but
also draws lessons from her time
growing up in Portland.
“Portland is like a melting pot
and it makes you able to relate to
multiple walks of life, and that’s
very helpful in the Navy,” she
said.
The Navy’s ballistic missile
submarines, often referred to in-
formally as “boomers,” serve as
undetectable launch platforms for
intercontinental ballistic missiles.
They are designed specifically for
stealth, extended patrols and the
precise delivery of missiles, and
they are the only survivable leg of
the nation’s strategic nuclear forc-
es, which also include land-based
missiles and aircraft.
