Like this law Roger?<br>
<br>
The Equal Protection Clause is located at the end of Section 1 of
the Fourteenth Amendment:<BR>
<blockquote class="ecxtemplatequote">
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United
States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make
or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or
immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State
deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due
process of law; <i>nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws</i>.<BR>
