The Enforcement Acts of 1870-1871 were criminal codes that protected African-Americans' and white Republicans' right to vote. The main goal of these acts was to fight against the KKK and the White League, which were targeting black people, and, later, other groups.
These Acts prohibited the use of violence and intimidation used to prevent people from voting and denying them this right.
This is a judicial doctrine whereby most but not all of the
protections found in the Bill of Rights are made applicable to the states via
the 14th amendment. The incorporation has led to the application of the Bill of
Rights to the states through the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment.
