Answer 1

The situation that describes a violation of the due process clause under the Fourteenth Amendment is:

"The police performed a search on Stanley’s house for illegal substances even though they did not have a search warrant. When they found a trunk full of illegal substances, they arrested Stanley."

This situation violates due process because the police conducted a search without a warrant, which is generally required to uphold Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.
