Hi!

The answer to your question woukd be option C. In a constitutional government, the powers of government are limited by a written document.

Explanation:

An authoritarian government constitutes of a government system in which the government recognizes no formal limits but can be restrained by the power of the social institutions. So basically no limit on government power but they still follow certain social institutions.

In the case of a constitutional government, there's a system of rule in which formal limits are placed on the powers of the government. In other words, this is a government whose powers are defined and limited by a constitution.

facts: the 14th amendment

the 14th amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection of the laws.

the 14th amendment was intended to protect the rights of former slaves after the american civil war.

the 14th amendment was approved by congress in june of 1866 and ratified by the states on july 9, 1868.

the 14th amendment establishes that all persons born in the united states are citizens and are guaranteed all the rights of citizenship.

the 14th amendment establishes that the law protects all citizens equally.

in this case the passage of the 14th amendment   that was violated was the last part in which it states that there is equal protection of the law.
