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:

Due process ensures fair treatment through the judicial system. Equal protection under the law mandates that all individuals be treated equally by the law. If only one person (based on ethnic background) of two guilty of the same crime is accused/tried, it violates both due process (as the process isn't fair if one is skipped) and equal protection (as they aren't treated equally under the law). The right of citizenship isn't directly related here (as citizenship status isn't mentioned as a factor in the scenario). The enforcement clause is more about Congress's power to enforce amendments and not relevant in this context of unequal treatment in accusation/trial.

Answer:

due process and equal protection under the law.
