12th
2nd
14th
3rd

Answer 1

The U.S. amendment that most directly supports John Locke's idea of protecting human life is the **14th Amendment**. The 14th Amendment includes the Due Process Clause, which protects individuals from being deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. This aligns closely with Locke's philosophy that the protection of individual rights, including life, is a fundamental duty of government.
