Question

if two people of different ethnic backgrounds were guilty of the same crime, but only one of them were accused and tried, this would be a violation of

due process and equal protection under the law.

the right of citizenship and equal protection.

the right of citizenship and due process.

due process and the enforcement clause.

Explanation:

Equal protection under the law requires that individuals in similar situations (here, both guilty of the same crime) are treated the same by legal authorities. Due process ensures fair legal procedures, and selectively accusing only one person based on ethnicity violates this fair treatment. The right of citizenship is not relevant here, as the scenario does not involve citizenship status, and the enforcement clause relates to enforcing civil rights laws, not the direct unequal treatment described.

Answer:

due process and equal protection under the law.
