Question

Introduction: Match each clause to the phrase that best defines it.

Answer 1

Answer:

Citizenship clause- All residents born in the United States  or naturalized are citizens.

Equal protection clause- The laws apply to all citizens in the same  way.

Due process clause- All citizens will be subject to the same  set of legal procedures.

Enforcement clause- Congress has the authority to make laws  to apply the amendment.

Explanation:

• The Citizenship clause is culled from Section 1 Clause 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment that states that all persons born and naturalized in the United States are its citizens. It states; "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside".

• The Equal protection clause found in the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment states that 'no state should deprive any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law'.

• The Enforcement clause- This is found in Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment. It allows congress through appropriate legislation to enforce the provisions of the article.
• Due process clause- Found in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, this clause prevents the government from depriving citizens of their right without following the due process of law. This means that all legal proceedings must be adhered to.
