These two chapters have their modern echo in the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, which decrees that no state shall deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property “without due process of law” or deny anyone “the equal protection of the laws.”
美国宪法第14修正案是这两章的现代回音——规定“如未经法律程序”各州不得剥夺任何人的生命、自由或财产， 或拒绝任何人“获得法律的平等保护”。
