How is the civil rights act a show of federalism?
In spite of the court orders, and with only 2 percent of Southern black children attending formerly all-white schools, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 authorizing the U.S. Justice Department to initiate school desegregation suits was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson. Federalism means the federal govt. has power over the states, so it overruled all existing laws.
