The equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was most clearly responsible for **the desegregation of public schools**. This clause has been a fundamental basis for challenging laws and practices that discriminate based on race, particularly as highlighted in the landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.
