Detailed explanation-1: -Which statement describes an impact of the “due process” and “equal protection” clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment? Women were guaranteed the right to vote.
Detailed explanation-2: -No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause requires states to practice equal protection. Equal protection forces a state to govern impartially-not draw distinctions between individuals solely on differences that are irrelevant to a legitimate governmental objective.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is exactly like a similar provision in the Fifth Amendment, which only restricts the federal government. It states that no person shall be “deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.” Usually, “due process” refers to fair procedures.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is the source of an array of constitutional rights, including many of our most cherished-and most controversial.
