What clause of the fourteenth amendment ended up being used by the courts to apply the bill of rights to the states? a. the citizenship clause b. the due process clause c. the equal protection clause d. the privileges and immunities clause

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!
