Question 2 (1 point)

Answer 1

The 14th Amendment allows state and local governments to act in an unfair manner is False.

Explanation:

The 14th Amendment Prohibits state and local governments from acting in an unfair manner. The fifth Amendment precludes the national government from acting in an uncalled for way. The Supreme Court has broadened the assurances of the Bill of Rights, in light of the fair treatment provison.

In spite of the fact that the content of the Fourteenth Amendment applies the Equal Protection Clause just against the states, the Supreme Court, since Bolling v. Sharpe (1954), has applied the Clause against the government through the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment under a precept called "switch consolidation". The Constitution of the United States of America is the preeminent tradition that must be adhered to State laws in the Virginia and United States constitutions.
