which part of the fourteenth amendment declares that states cannot pass laws infringing on citizens rights

Section 1

Explanation:

The "Fourteenth Amendment" was adopted in the United States in 1868. It was issued in response to the events that occurred after the end of the American Civil War. It was meant to follow three provisions: The Citizenship Clause, The Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause.

Under Section 1 (second sentence), it states that states cannot pass or enforce laws that will cut or infringe the rights of the U.S. citizens. So this means that no one can limit the rights granted to the citizens. For example, when a citizen decides to travel to another state, he still carries with him his relative rights as a U.S. citizen.
