ILR563 Equal Protection:
The 14th Amendment
6 sessions, 9 hours
This course considers the uniquely American approach to “state
action” as it applies to the obligations of the states to provide
equal protection to citizens of the United States. These rights are
conferred on the citizenry by the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution which provides “No State shall make or enforce any
law….. (which would) deny to any person within its jurisdiction
the equal protection of the laws.” We will consider the historical,
sociological and political reasons surrounding the adoption of
the 14th Amendment and its application over time. We will also
consider matters of race, economic and social regulations, age,
disability, sexual orientation, gender, marriage, voting, access to
courts, and the right to travel.
