Question

a) First Amendment

b) Second Amendment

c) Fourteenth Amendment

d) Tenth Amendment

Answer 1

The Fourteenth Amendment has been violated in this scenario.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is c) Fourteenth Amendment. The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees equal protection of the laws and prohibits states from denying any person within their jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. By raising taxes specifically on Catholics, the city of High Point violates the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection.
