The Fourteenth Amendment provides:

• A. Citizenship, due process, and equal protection
• B. The right to keep and bear arms
• C. Quartering of soldiers prohibition
• D. The right to a jury trial in civil cases

Answer: (A)

Focus on what the Fourteenth Amendment does for individuals against state action and how it defines citizenship. It establishes birthright citizenship (citizenship clause), prohibits states from depriving anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process (due process clause), and requires states to treat people equally under the law (equal protection clause). Those three elements—citizenship, due process, and equal protection—together describe the Fourteenth Amendment’s main protections.

The other provisions listed belong to different amendments: the right to keep and bear arms is from the Second Amendment; the prohibition on quartering soldiers is from the Third Amendment; the right to a jury trial in civil cases is from the Seventh Amendment and not generally applied to the states in the same way.
