B) Establishment Clause.

Explanation:

The 1st Amendment begins with the words, ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof:.’ The ‘seperation of powers’ refers to any preferential treatment by the government to people of any particular faith, a clause which was clearly violated by linking voting rights to religious requirements.

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.
