What will be an ideal response?
The Fourteenth Amendment places restrictions and obligations on state governments. It requires that states follow due process before taking a person's life or liberty. It also requires that states provide all citizens equal protection of the laws. Finally, it requires that all citizens enjoy the same privileges and immunities. Congress and the president have used the Fourteenth Amendment to ensure due process and equal protection for all citizens, and the Supreme Court has also decided cases that have required the states to recognize the same protections in the Bill of Rights that the national government does.
