"Sadly, the Slaughterhouse cases nuked the Privileges and Communities clause..."

Thanks for reply.

I agree with the Court’s decision in Slaughter-House cases. Since there is no constitutionally enumerated right “to sustain their lives through labor,” 14A protections did not apply.

”[…] but the butchers argued that the amendment protected their right to "sustain their lives through labor.” —Slaughter-House Cases

Clarification appreciated.
