Because in 2004 Ecuadorian president Lucio Gutiérrez fired the majority of the nation's supreme court judges and they thought the president was trying to gain too much power.
I hope it helped you, and good luck :)
I believe the answer is D: Early followers had different opinions about who would lead them.
After the death of Prophet Muhammad, nobody knew who would lead them again, and the religion split apart into two due to this.
According to npr, most of the Prophet Muhammad's followers wanted the community of Muslims to determine who would succeed him; a smaller group thought that someone from his family should take up his mantle.

Articles one and three are the ones that seem to apply:
<span>Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions may be founded only upon the general good.<span>The principle of all sovereignty resides essentially in the nation. No body nor individual may exercise any authority which does not proceed directly from the nation.</span></span>
This really depends on your beliefs in if gender discrimination is as big of a deal as racial discrimination. The 14th amendment is the Equal Protection Clause, it was mainly for the slaves that had been freed in the U.S after the civil war. It basically forbids the states to restrict basic rights of citizens without going through the process of law or being protected by the law. But has recently been used in cases to of gender discrimination.
I believe it is perfectly justified for the 14th amendment to be acted in cases of gender discrimination. The 14th amendment does not have to be dedicated completely to race, but can have multiple purposes and be dedicated to gender discrimination as well. Because the 14th amendment does not mention race in its context, but mentions that basic rights shall not be stripped from citizens.
