The Bill of Rights refers to the first ten Amendments to the US Constitution that exist nowadays; it was first proposed by a loose political coalition called the Anti-Federalists who promoted the establishment of strong states governments and a limited central government. One of the reasons that it was adopted was to<u> list specific prohibitions on governmental power and protect individual liberties</u>, such as the right to express, to practice the religion of our choice, to have a fair trial, to be protected against unreasonable searches and seizures and to have reserved powers.

Gnoma [55]

A response to the point: There was no enforcement of the legislation.

Here's a more detailed response, "Many blacks did not believe that civil rights legislation went far enough in the North because desegregation was not enforced. Schools in the North were considerably more segregated than those in the South. The Supreme Court abandoned the idea of achieving integration because it would have required some students to move great distances. The Court also overturned white suburbs to integrate into heavily minority schools."
