6 the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment has been used to address which contemporary issue?
unconstitutional taxes
voting rights for non - citizens

employment and education discrimination

Explanation:

• Question 4: The 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause is about equal application of laws. The President doesn't have final say on all laws (that's not the clause's focus), protecting only the majority's rights is against the clause's spirit, and Congress's power to veto state laws isn't related to the Equal Protection Clause.
• Question 5: Selective incorporation is about applying individual protections (not all at once) from the Bill of Rights to states on a case - by - case basis. Preventing states from passing new laws and enforcing only federal laws over state laws are not the main concepts of selective incorporation.
• Question 6: The Equal Protection Clause has been used to address employment and education discrimination (to ensure equal treatment). Unconstitutional taxes are more about due process in some cases, voting rights for non - citizens is a different legal area (as non - citizens may not have full voting rights in the same way as citizens in the context of this clause), and the establishment of new states is a matter of territorial and political processes, not the Equal Protection Clause.

Answer:

• Question 4: Laws are applied equally to all citizens, regardless of race or status.
• Question 5: Apply individual protections from the Bill of Rights to the states on a case - by - case basis.
• Question 6: Employment and education discrimination.
