Read the excerpt from the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution.[N]or shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.

The excerpt says that no state may take away any person’s life, liberty, or property without following due process of law. This means states must observe legal procedures and safeguards when dealing with people. Choice B, “all states follow similar rules and legal processes,” is the closest match; the amendment does not allow states to deny due process, and it applies to any person, not only citizens.
