(04.05 mc)what was the overall impact of supreme court cases related to civil rights in the reconstruction era, such as united states v. cruikshank? they affirmed the constitutionality of legislation such as the civil war amendments, but they had no power to enforce them. they encouraged congress to pass additional civil rights laws aimed at supporting and enforcing provisions of the civil war amendments. they denied the legitimacy of civil rights laws aimed at protecting the legal citizenship and protections of former slaves and their families. they left application and enforcement of civil rights in the hands of state governments, which stripped away rights for southern blacks.

The correct answer is “they left application and enforcement of civil rights in the hands of state governments, which stripped away rights for southern blacks.”

The united states v. Cruikshank was a case decided by the US Supreme Court in 1876 about an armed white militia attacked and killed about 200 African Americans. When the case reached the US Supreme Court the Court decided that the Bill of Rights was not applied to the states this way the Court basically led to the allowance of violence and deprivation of rights against newly freed slaves and stripped away rights for southern blacks.
