Answer:

The Act that was found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court because of the wording of the Fourteenth Amendment was the Civil Rights Act of 1875.

Explanation:

The Civil Rights Act of 1875 was a federal law proposed by Republican Senator Charles Sumner and Republican representative Benjamin Butler in 1870 during the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant. The law was approved by the United States Congress in February 1875 and signed by President Grant on 1 March 1875. The legislative provisions guaranteed that everyone, regardless of race, skin color or previous condition of slavery was entitled to the same treatment in public places, for example transport and taverns.

In 1883, the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional claiming that the congress had no power to regulate the conduct of individuals. The XIV amendment prohibits discrimination as long as it is a state that commits them, and not an individual; however many of the provisions of the law were reinserted in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and in the Fair Housing Act using federal power to regulate inter-state trade.

Common Sense

Common Sense was an instant best-seller. Published in January 1776 in Philadelphia, nearly 120,000 copies were in circulation by April. Paine's brilliant arguments were straightforward. He argued for two main points: (1) independence from England and (2) the creation of a democratic republic.

Paine avoided flowery prose. He wrote in the language of the people, often quoting the Bible in his arguments. Most people in America had a working knowledge of the Bible, so his arguments rang true. Paine was not religious, but he knew his readers were. King George was "the Pharaoh of England" and "the Royal Brute of Great Britain." He touched a nerve in the American countryside.
