Civil Rights Cases of 1883 (1 jan 1883 ano – 31 dez 1883 ano)

Descrição:

The Civil Rights Cases of 1883 were a group of five U.S. Supreme Court cases consolidated into one issue, where the Court declared the Civil Rights Act of 1875 unconstitutional, specifically the sections that guaranteed all citizens access to public accommodations and transportation regardless of race. The Court ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment did not give Congress the authority to regulate private acts of discrimination, a decision that significantly weakened protections against racial discrimination and led to the rise of state-sponsored segregation laws.
