Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Fourteenth Amendment granted birthright citizenship?

Yes. Reference sources, including the National Archives and an encyclopedia article on the Fourteenth Amendment, state that the amendment's Citizenship Clause granted citizenship to all persons born in the United States. Other items confirm this reading in passing, while one law-review essay argues the clause does not extend birthright citizenship to children of unlawfully present parents.
