Answer:

A: the equal protection clause in the 14th amendment

Step-by-step explanation:

Under this protection clause that provides for the fourteenth amendment, we can affirm that all states must equally protect all persons before the law within their jurisdictions, regardless of their status as citizens. This amendment is part of the group of amendments that were ratified during the Reconstruction period.
