Explanation:

The Fourteenth Amendment Section 1 grants equal protection under the law to all persons, stating no state shall deny any person equal protection of the laws. It also mentions due - process and citizenship rights, but the key protection emphasized in the question context is equal protection. The right of states to enforce any law is not a protection granted by this section, and the right to deprive persons of property is restricted by due - process requirements.

Answer:

equal protection under the law
