The 14th Amendment has vastly expanded civil rights protections

This statement falls under the "you gotta be kidding, right?" category.
Before the 14th amendment there were
NO civil rights enumerated in the constitution. Civil rights are for 14th amendment "citizens".
If there was none before and suddenly there are civil rights it might be understated to say that these rights were "vastly expanded".
(New Civil Rights = ????) divided by (old civil rights = null set) = something closely approximating a dirac delta function => interpret this to say the function tends to infinity.
