Heart+of+Atlanta+Motel+Inc.+v.+United+States


 * I.** (1964) 1/1


 * II.** //Heart of Atlanta Motel v. United States// was in direct cause of TO The __Civil Rights Act of 1964__ COMMA which banned public discrimination and segregation. The Heart of Atlanta motel violated the __Civil Rights Act of 1964__ by REFUSING to accommodate people of different races, specifically African Americans. The Heart of Atlanta argued that __Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964__ exceedED THE power given to Congress by the Commerce Clause. WHY ARE THESE THINGS UNDERLINED???? MAKE IT LOOK LIKE CUT-AND-PASTE

In addition, the Heart of Atlanta motel argued __Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964__ violated his Fifth Amendment rights to choose customers and operate his business as he wished and resulted in unjust deprivation of his property without due process and law and just compensation, and his Thirteenth Amendment which Congress had placed him in a position of involuntary rent available rooms to blacks. WOW IS THIS A RUN-ON SENTENCE!

3.5/5


 * III.** The Supreme Court case of //Heart of Atlanta Motel v. United States//, disputed whether __Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964__ exceed its powers, given by the Commerce Clause, by depriving motels, such as the Heart of Atlanta, the right to choose their own customers.

Specific parts of the Constitution that are relevant to the case are: the Commerce Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3); the Fifth Amendment; and the Thirteenth Amendment.

5/5


 * IV.** The Supreme Court decided that hotels could not regulate who could come in and take residence. NOT NECESSARILY - THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DISCRIMINATE ON THE BASIS OF RACE. A HOTEL CAN CHOOSE NOT TO SERVE SOMEONE FOR OTHER REASONS - FOR EXAMPLE BEHAVIOR The decision made it so the Government could regulate local commerce but would be limited on powers. The Justices votes were 9-0. 4/5


 * V.** The significance of the Supreme Court case decision made it so that __Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964__ allowed Congress to regulate local commerce that was "carefully limited to enterprises having a direct and substantial relation to the interstate flow of goods and people. . ." The effect it had on U.S. history was that the Supreme Court decision on the court case //Heart of Atlanta Motel v. United States// gave and enforced more freedom to people of different races. SHOWED THAT THE SUPREME COURT WOULD SUPPORT CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 4.5/5
