Does anyone know what I can reference for "Fair and equal treatment under the law"?
I always thought this was in the Constitution of the United States, but I cannot find the passage I am looking for. Preferably references from United States Law.

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 7.
* All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.

If you don't find it in the Constitution of your country, it doesn't mean you don't have the right, you are still Human.
