The correct answer is D.

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution was adopted on July 9, 1868.

This Amendment addresses the citizenship rights and equal protection of the law.

The due process of the law prohibits state and local governments from depriving of life, liberty or property without a fair procedure.

It also makes this clause applicable to the states, meaning the due process laws apply in the same way to federal and state governments.

Most of the provisions in the Bill of Rights previously applied to federal governments only have been incorporated and applied to the states governments with the Due Process Clause.
