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.

41. What is the subject of this passage?
A. civil liberties
B. the due process
C. American basic rights
D. equal protection
42. The word amendment is closest in meaning to ………… .
A. modification B. changeability C. mending D. variety
43. "Due process of law" signifies ………… .
A. that nothing illegal has been done
B. that it is time for the law to be processed

C. that the law has been properly applied
D. that no one has been deprived of their life or liberty
44. For a process to be "fundamentally fair" there must have been ………… .
A. a trial with a judge and jury
