Pbs Learning Media: Crash Course Government and Politics: Equal Protection

In this episode, we discuss the most important part of the Constitution-the Fourteenth Amendment. In particular, we discuss the "equal protection" clause and how it relates to our civil rights. We've discussed in previous episodes civil liberties, or our protections from the government, but civil rights are different as they involve how some groups of citizens are able to treat other groups (usually minorities) under existing laws.
