NBC is pivotal to the court's rejection of Minor's 14th amendment citizenship claim.

Precisely.

Why?????

No one argued that she wasn’t a citizen. Everyone agreed she was a citizen.

Whether that citizen has a right to vote is a different issue.

That was the question before the court.

What was the holding? Be Exact.
The holding was that the Constitution did not give women the right to vote. Their citizenship was irrelevant.

Definition of NBC is not pertinant to this case.

Where were the cites of cases,or the the arguments or in depth discussion. There is none because it is not relevant to the case.

Thus, obiter dictum.
