Summary

This chapter argues that the Fourteenth Amendment deployed the antebellum legal language described in the first three chapters to solve the historical problems described in Chapter 4. It describes the reconstruction legislation of the Thirty-Ninth Congress – the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the Privileges and Immunities Bill of 1866, and the Freedmen's Bureau Act of 1866 – and shows how the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment sought to constitutionalize these pieces of legislation that would have solved the known historical problems of the times.
