The Reconstruction Amendments gave Congress the power to eliminate the badges and incidents of slavery and to enforce equal protection and due process — and Congress responded with a body of civil rights legislation that remains the primary vehicle for enforcing constitutional rights against both government and private actors. Sections 1981, 1982, 1983, 1985, and 1986 of Title 42 form the core of the civil rights statutory framework, supplemented by Title VI, Title IX, the ADA, and the Rehabilitation Act in specific contexts.
The Constitutional Civil Rights Acts Warrior is Volume LXVI of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series, delivering the complete integrated guide to civil rights statutory enforcement.
Wayne Richard Evangelista covers the complete civil rights statutory landscape: Section 1981's right to make and enforce contracts free from racial discrimination, extended to private actors in Runyon v. McCrary and CBOCS West v. Humphries; Section 1982's property rights protection; Section 1983's integrated elements — color of law, deprivation of rights, causation, and damages; Section 1985's conspiracy claims under Griffin v. Breckenridge; Section 1986's neglect claims; Title VI of the Civil Rights Act — the Sandoval limitation on private disparate impact claims and enforcement through OCR; Title IX's private right of action from Cannon v. University of Chicago through Davis v. Monroe County and Jackson v. Birmingham Board of Education; the ADA's three-title structure and constitutional dimensions; Section 504's spending-based civil rights guarantee; and the complete integrated strategy for pressing statutory and constitutional claims in combination.
