Answer:

The Fifth Amendment

Explanation:

Originally, the Fifth Amendment (1791), as well as the rest of the Bill of Rights, was created to be applied to the federal government, not the state governments. Regarding the issues of equal protection and due process, the amendment states “No person shall be (...) deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;” this provision required the federal government to operate according to the law and to provide fair procedures. However, after the American Civil War was over, the relationship between the state and the government power, as well as American society, had changed and new Amendments were created, one of them was the Fourteenth Amendment (1868) which addressed the due process and the equal protection of the laws and applied them to the states governments too.
