What is the central purpose of the equal protection 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.
