Law

Answer:

"The Fourteenth Amendment was implemented in 1868, a short time after the American Civil War. It preceded the Thirteenth Amendment which abolished slavery, leading many former Confederate states to adopt Black Codes after the Civil War.To combat the list of Black Codes enacted in Southern states, Congress imposed the Civil Rights Act of 1866.

This Act was a direct effect of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Dred Scott v. Sanford case. The law required that all citizen regardless of race and color have the equal benefits of all laws, as enjoyed by white citizens. The doubts that arose with the law under the Constitution that was in existence then lead Congress to implement changes to the Constitution, which became known as the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.  

In order to ensure the fair practice of the Equal Protection Clause, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to apply different tests to the different State classifications and its response to fundamental rights. Usually the Court finds a State classification Constitutional as long as it has a “rational basis” to a “legitimate state purpose”. The U.S. Supreme Court, however, established a firmer sense of analysis to certain cases." -<em>Constitution.laws.com</em>

So basically what I got from that is that the states all have different definitions of 'equal protection'. I think a good comparison would be gun laws: Each state has their own regulations and restrictions on guns, but because of the second amendment guns are legal in all 50 states.

Both a wave and a particle description of light are possible. The dual character of light has been highlighted in particular by two investigations.

<h3>What is made up of  Light?</h3>

Photons are electromagnetic field bundles that contain a set amount of energy and are the building blocks of light. Photons can be counted or even individually measured with sensitive enough studies.

Both a particle and a wave can be used to describe light. The dual nature of light has been demonstrated through two tests in particular. The particles we refer to as "photons" when imagining light as being composed of them are small. A certain quantity of energy is carried by each photon, which has no mass.
