Yes he was a democrat, in fact he started the democratic party. Why was he opposed to the 14th amendement? I think he must have been a slave owner. I'm not sure it doesn't say anything in my notebook about him opposing the 14th amendment.

When paper money was outlawed in 1781 farmers were hurt because farming brought in little or no sliver and gold. They couldn' pay their debts and in Massachusetts in that time debtors were thrown into jail, so most farmers went to jail. Daniel Shays and a group of people protested this outside the Massachusetts courts in Springfield, MA. They also took over the United States arsenal building in Springfield. There was a violent roit and 150 people were captured. The rest including Shays fled to Rhode Island. This led to the existing Constitution because when the delegates and heads met to talk about Shay's Rebellion and trade issues they created the Virginia plan which was made up of these three parts:\n(1) Congress, the legislative branch, would make laws.\n(2) An executive branch would carry out laws.\n(3) United States courts would see that justice was done under those laws. \nThey like idea so much they got rid of the Articles of Confederation and wrote our now Constitution.
