Legal Question in Constitutional Law in District of Columbia
DC and the Constitution
Is DC subject to Section 1 of the Fourteenth amendment?
''No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.''

The 14th Amendement of the U.S. Constitution is applicable to all states and U.S. territories (as far as I know) as well as to the special jurisdiction known as the District of Columbia(though obviously not a state).
