Question

the fourteenth amendment applies to discriminatory action by multiple choice both government and private parties. government only. the president specifically. private parties only. congress specifically.

Explanation:

The Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses are generally held to apply to government action (state and local, and through incorporation, federal) under the doctrine of state action. Private parties' actions are not directly covered by the Fourteenth Amendment's core prohibitions on governmental discrimination, though there are exceptions in some civil rights contexts, but the primary application is to government. So the correct option is about government only.

Answer:

B. government only.
