• they arrested Stanley.
• The police officers performed the search on a federal holiday, making it illegal for Stanley's property to be searched even with a warrant.

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 represents a clear violation of due process because the police conducted a search without having the legal authority of a search warrant, which is required to legally search someone's property. This lack of a warrant undermines the protections afforded by the Fourth Amendment (which is applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment) and violates Stanley's due process rights.
