The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, includes several important clauses, with the Equal Protection Clause being a key component. It prohibits states from denying any person within their jurisdiction "the equal protection of the laws," thereby ensuring that individuals are treated equally regardless of race, gender, or other characteristics.
