The equal protection clause applies to both state and federal law, regardless of their source. This means that any law or action by a state or federal government must treat all individuals equally under the law, without discrimination based on race, gender, ethnicity or other factors. The equal protection clause is part of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and applies to all levels of government, including administrative agencies.
