The equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was most clearly responsible for **the desegregation of public schools**. This clause has been foundational in numerous Supreme Court cases that addressed issues of racial discrimination, including the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, which declared state-sponsored segregation in public schools unconstitutional.
