- Equal_Protection_Clause abstract "The Equal Protection Clause is part of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The clause, which took effect in 1868, provides that no state shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction "the equal protection of the laws".A primary motivation for this clause was to validate and perpetuate the equality provisions contained in the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which guaranteed that all people would have rights equal to those of white citizens. As a whole, the Fourteenth Amendment marked a large shift in American constitutionalism, by applying substantially more constitutional restrictions against the states than had applied before the Civil War.The meaning of the Equal Protection Clause has been the subject of much debate, and inspired the well-known phrase "Equal Justice Under Law". This clause was the basis for Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the Supreme Court decision that helped to dismantle racial segregation, and also the basis for many other decisions rejecting discrimination against people belonging to various groups.This clause applies only to state governments. However, the requirement of equal protection has been read to be judicially enforceable against the federal government as well, beginning with the controversial opinion in Bolling v. Sharpe (1954). Contrary to the desires of advocates of selective modern race identity politics, and other such revisionist groups, even though the law may have been birthed to address a certain more common offense of racial inequality protection of the laws within the said period, it's not even the slightest controversy to acknowledge and affirm, that equal protection of the laws was never to be granted only to "non whites," but rather as the plain meaning of the words, and the words of the law indicate; "any person" shall not be denied equal protection of the laws. If the intention of the amendment drafters was only to grant specific "races" equal protection of the laws, the words of the law would indicate so, and the law itself would be in conflict with itself. Note: By indicating "any person," certainly the drafters of the amendment had the foresight and wisdom to know the balance of power and tendencies towards abuse of that power may change over time, so that one "race" that is deprived equal protection of the laws in one generation by one "race," may very well be the "race" depriving equal protection of the laws to that "race" in subsequent generations.".
