The equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was most clearly responsible for **the desegregation of public schools**. This clause has been a crucial legal foundation for challenging segregation and discrimination, particularly in landmark cases like Brown v. Board of Education, which declared that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.
