Answer 2

HaileyS0922,

The answer is the second option "The Due Process Clause." The Due Process Clause was when every person deserved a free trial but the fourteenth amendment ratified it stating "deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law" and then making it a legal obligation for all states.

Hope this helps!
