Question

if two people of different ethnic backgrounds were guilty of the same crime, but only one of them were accused and tried, this would be a violation of

• due process and equal protection under the law.
• the right of citizenship and equal protection.
• the right of citizenship and due process.
• due process and the enforcement clause.

Explanation:

The scenario involves unequal treatment under the law based on ethnicity for the same crime. Due process ensures fair legal procedures, and equal protection under the law requires all people to be treated equally by the law. The right of citizenship is not directly related here, and the enforcement clause is about implementing amendments, not this situation. So the correct option is the one with due process and equal protection.

Answer:

A. due process and equal protection under the law.
