The excerpt above is part of the 14th amendment. This amendment was passed in 1868 and was supposed to help protect newly freed slaves. The goal in passing this was to ensure that African-Americans had the same legal rights as white citizens.
This due process clause has been used in several important Supreme Court cases to protect American citizens.
The cabinet people are the President’s closest advisors.
No taxation without representation means American colonist were taxed by the British Parliament and in return Americans will be given the rights to elect representatives.
Explanation:
Previously the British Parliament had a law where the American colonist had to pay taxes but on the other hand they were not given the right to elect their representatives. The Americans complaint against it and demanded for "no taxation without representation".
The main idea behind it was that as the Americans had to pay huge taxes they should be given the right to elect their representatives as the Britishers get, that is the opportunity to elect the representatives.
I believe the answer would be C. Hope this helps!
