Two fundamental rights in the US constitution are found in the fourteenth amendment: due process and
equal protection.

4
The due process provision protects persons from being "deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due
process of law" and the provision goes on to give the steps that must be followed to make sure the process
is "fundamentally fair." A process is considered to be fundamentally fair if there has been due notice, a
hearing, an unbiased fact finder, the opportunity to present evidence and to cross examine witnesses, and
the right of appeal.

Under the equal protection provision, no person may be denied equal protection under the laws. "Equal
protection does not prohibit all differences in the way people are treated, but it requires that these
differences be reasonable. For cases involving the control of various businesses, and for ordinary cases,
equal protection is fairly loose. However, when classifications such as race, religion, or national minorities are
involved, then the equal protection is enforced much more strictly. This is also true when basic rights are
involved: basic rights are voting, marriage, privacy, access to a court if one is needed, and travel between
the states. In these cases, the right of the government to treat people differently under the law is extremely
limited.

Due process and equal protection apply both to individuals and to businesses. Although businesses may
seem to be different from individuals, the law generally treats a registered business as a person.

C. that the law has been properly applied
D. that no one has been deprived of their life or liberty

A. a trial with a judge and jury
B. an opportunity to present the evidence
5
C. an opportunity to question the evidence which has been presented
D. both B and C
45. The word unbiased is closest in meaning to ………… .
A. unfair B. passionate C. unprejudiced D. uninterested
46. According to the text, you cannot suffer a legal penalty if ………… .
A. you have not been informed that there is a case against you
B. if you are to be deprived of your liberty
C. if the case involves basic rights
D. if you are not involved with marriage, voting, or minorities

Before photography was invented in 1839, painted portraits, and engravings based on them, were one of the
few ways to record likenesses. From the Colonial era through the 1820s, portraiture was the most widely
practiced genre of American art, and it continued to be a significant form through the 19th century. The
demand for likenesses was incessant, and portraiture was often the primary source of income for artists.
Artists frequently made portraits of famous people to attract interest and potential patrons. For example, in
1834 Chester Harding painted frontiersman Davy Crockett, then a member of the U.S. House of
Representatives, for display in his Boston gallery.
A consistent belief through most of the 18th and 19th centuries was that character could be read from a
person's face, or the bumps on his or her head, or from facial expressions, and that portraits should convey
these indicators of character. These theories of physiognomy and phrenology have since been debunked, but
they were important considerations in depicting the nation's leaders, since such portraits were often made
for posterity. Most people had only one portrait painted in their lifetime, if at all, so artists were selected with
great care, and expectations were high.
Before the 1840s, American portraiture was influenced primarily by English techniques, poses, compositions
and gestures, and many artists received at least part of their training in England. Even canvas sizes followed
the British example. Portraits made on commission were priced according to canvas size and the materials
and labor involved.

In the late 19th century as European portraitists began traveling to the United States to acquire
commissions from the growing upper class, American artists increasingly felt they needed to train abroad in
order to succeed at home. Paris continued to be the main lure. as painters such as Eakins, Whistler, Beaux
and Sargent went to study there. Some of America's best-known portraitists, in fact, became expatriates.
