Answer:

the 14th amendment spread due process to multiple ethnicities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 5th amendment promised the right to go to court. That was only applicable to white men and not the Native Americans, African Americans, or Latin American Immigrant. The 14th amendment allowed the use of the Grande Jury to expand its frontier.
