Answer: whether its intent has been compromised.

Explanation: reargument focused on the circumstances of the Amendment’s adoption — i.e., historical context and original intent/meaning. The Court examines that to decide how the Fourteenth Amendment should be applied. It does not determine authorship, repeal (that’s a political process), and while it may review state or lower-court interpretations, the described focus points to intent.
