What is a nickname for the 14th Amendment?

Just like how the 18th Amendment is nicknamed the "Prohibition Amendment", or the 20th the "Lame Duck Amendment", what was the nickname for the 14th?|||EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE





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; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
