The Equal Protection Clause, part of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, provides that "no state shall ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws".
That was the fourteenth amendment.
The Central Purpose of the Equal Protection Clause (amendment 14) is to protect all rights given by the Bill of rights. For example the Equal Porotection Clause was made right after Civil war in which the 13th amendment freed slaves. So this clause was made that so these free slaves can have equal protection under the law. Though I personally feel that it took time for this to actually happen and I still feel today that this amendment has not been accomplished yet. But this is the central purpose for the Equal protection Clause.
