It is not limited only to citizens.Statement 2 is correct: The concept of "equality before the law" is a negative concept of British origin. It means no person is above the law.Statement 3 is correct: The concept of "equal protection of the laws" is a positive concept borrowed from the United States Constitution. It means equals should be treated equally.Statement 4 is incorrect: Article 14 does not forbid all classifications. It allows the State to make a "reasonable classification" of persons, objects, and transactions for legitimate goals. It only prohibits class legislation.
