The Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
"Equal Protection" under the 14th Amendment.
The equal protection clause.
The nickname for the 14th amendment is the "Equal Protection Amendment."
The two most pertinent clauses are: (1) The Equal Protection Claus; and, (2) the Full Faith and Credit Clause.
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.
The Equal Protection Clause.
14th
The 14th amendment to the U.S. Constitution has three clauses: the citizenship clause; the due process clause; and the equal protection clause. The citizenship clause essentially gave all blacks citizenship. The due process clause prevented state and local governments from denying persons (individual and corporate) of life, liberty and property without meeting certain requirements. The equal protection clause requires all states to provide equal protection to all individuals under its jurisdiction. The equal protection clause became the basis of the supreme court decision that dismantled racial segregation.
