Two fundamental rights in the US constitution are found in the fourteenth amendment: due process and
equal protection
Trang 5The due process provision protects persons from being "deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" and the provision goes on to give the steps that must be followed to make sure the process
is "fundamentally fair." A process is considered to be fundamentally fair if there has been due notice, a
hearing, an unbiased fact finder, the opportunity to present evidence and to cross examine witnesses, and
the right of appeal
Under the equal protection provision, no person may be denied equal protection under the laws "Equal protection does not prohibit all differences in the way people are treated, but it requires that these differences be reasonable For cases involving the control of various businesses, and for ordinary cases, equal protection is fairly loose However, when classifications such as race, religion, or national minorities are involved, then the equal protection is enforced much more strictly This is also true when basic rights are involved: basic rights are voting, marriage, privacy, access to a court if one is needed, and travel between the states In these cases, the right of the government to treat people differently under the law is extremely limited
Due process and equal protection apply both to individuals and to businesses Although businesses may seem to be different from individuals, the law generally treats a registered business as a person

Before photography was invented in 1839, painted portraits, and engravings based on them, were one of the few ways to record likenesses From the Colonial era through the 1820s, portraiture was the most widely practiced genre of American art, and it continued to be a significant form through the 19th century The demand for likenesses was incessant, and portraiture was often the primary source of income for artists Artists frequently made portraits of famous people to attract interest and potential patrons For example, in
1834 Chester Harding painted frontiersman Davy Crockett, then a member of the U.S House of Representatives, for display in his Boston gallery
A consistent belief through most of the 18th and 19th centuries was that character could be read from a person's face, or the bumps on his or her head, or from facial expressions, and that portraits should convey these indicators of character These theories of physiognomy and phrenology have since been debunked, but
they were important considerations in depicting the nation's leaders, since such portraits were often made
for posterity Most people had only one portrait painted in their lifetime, if at all, so artists were selected with great care, and expectations were high
Before the 1840s, American portraiture was influenced primarily by English techniques, poses, compositions
and gestures, and many artists received at least part of their training in England Even canvas sizes followed the British example Portraits made on commission were priced according to canvas size and the materials and labor involved
In the late 19th century as European portraitists began traveling to the United States to acquire
commissions from the growing upper class, American artists increasingly felt they needed to train abroad in order to succeed at home Paris continued to be the main lure as painters such as Eakins, Whistler, Beaux and Sargent went to study there Some of America's best-known portraitists, in fact, became expatriates

68 Why does the author mention Davy Crocket in paragraph 1?
A as an example of an artist using a famous person to gain attention to his work
B because Crocket was also a famous artist
