    The purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection clause was primarily to abolish state laws that discriminated against African Americans. It aimed to ensure that all individuals, regardless of race, would receive equal protection under the law. While the clause has been interpreted and used in various contexts, its foundational goal was to provide equal legal protections and address the inequalities that arose, particularly following the Civil War and during the Reconstruction era.
