The correct answer is B) 14th. The 14th Amendment was later used to make the most of the Bill of Rights apply to all states. To arrive at this answer, you need to have a basic understanding of the U.S. Constitution and its amendments. The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution, which outline certain rights and protections for individuals. Initially, these rights applied only to the federal government and did not automatically apply to state governments. However, the 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868, includes the "Due Process" and "Equal Protection" clauses. These clauses have been interpreted by the courts to apply most of the rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights to the states, ensuring that individuals have the same protections under state laws as they do under federal laws.
