Because of the violation incurred by the southern states of the laws that had been enacted to protect the rights of African Americans, the federal government was given powers by the Constitution to put a limit on the southern states´ laws that still affected and especially segregated African Americans. This truly caused social unrest and turmoil because of the belief that the federal government was overstepping the rights it had been given by the original Constitution to control the states´ powers of self-government.
