The correct response is: It requires that states not infringe on the rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution.

The Fourteenth Amendment, particularly through its Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses, requires states to uphold the rights and protections afforded by the U.S. Constitution, ensuring that individuals have their rights respected at both federal and state levels.
