| | The Civil Rights Cases, 109 U.S.) were a group of five similar cases consolidated into one issue for the United States Supreme Court to review. | | | Justice Harlan challenged the Court's narrow interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment in his dissent. | | | The difficulty has been to compel a recognition of their legal right to take that rank, and to secure the enjoyment of privileges belonging, under the law, to them as a component part of the people for whose welfare and happiness government is ordained." |

| | In the United States civil rights are usually thought of in terms of the specific rights guaranteed in the Constitution: freedom of religion, of speech, and of the press, and the rights to due process of law and to equal protection under the law. | | | The term is broader than “political rights,” which refer only to rights devolving from the franchise and are held usually only by a citizen, and unlike “natural rights,” civil rights have a legal as well as a philosophical basis. | | | Since the Civil War, much of the concern over civil rights in the United States has focused on efforts to extend these rights fully to African Americans. |

| | The Government's brief contended that, inasmuch as the Civil Rights statutes were passed to enforce the Fourteenth Amendment, they should be read as coextensive with it: "under color" of state law should be coincident with "State action" as this Court had developed the "State action" concept. | | | One may agree that, in one sense, § 1979 is not "merely" jurisdictional -- not jurisdictional in the sense, for example, that § 3 of the 1866 Civil Rights Act was jurisdictional. | | | The object of the act was, not to prevent illegal exactions, but to forbid the execution of state laws, which, by the act itself, are made void. |
