This book uses primary sources to closely examine the Equal
Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and to show how legal
interpretations of it have had a profound impact on American life
as we know it. The Fourteenth Amendment addresses many aspects of
American citizenship, including the rights of citizens. The most
commonly used—and frequently litigated—phrase in the amendment
is "equal protection of the laws." This phrase has figured
prominently in a plethora of landmark cases in U.S. history dealing
with a variety of issues, including Brown v. Board of Education
(racial discrimination), Roe v. Wade (reproductive rights), Bush v.
Gore (election recounts), Reed v. Reed (gender discrimination),
University of California v. Bakke (racial quotas in college
admissions), and Obergefell v. Hodges (gay marriage). This book
closely examines the history and development of the Equal
Protection Clause and details the many ways in which it has shaped
U.S. history. Selections show how the equal protection clause came
into being in the post-Civil War era; feature seminal Supreme Court
decisions on the nature and extent of applications of the equal
protection clause in American life and law through the years; and
include documents that consider the impact that the equal
protection clause has had and may have on American society in the
21st century.
