I believe the problem was in the enforcement. Local and state law enforcement at times would either not enforce or even assist in efforts to deny rights to blacks. The Civil Rights Act was meant to provide specific means of enforcement by details exactly what these Constitutional rights were, and how they needed to be followed and enforced. Here is the act preamble: To enforce the constitutional right to vote, to confer jurisdiction upon the district courts of the United States to provide injunctive relief against discrimination in public accommodations, to authorize the Attorney General to institute suits to protect constitutional rights in public facilities and public education, to extend the Commission on Civil Rights, to prevent discrimination in federally assisted programs, to establish a Commission on Equal Employment Opportunity, and for other purposes.
