The Civil Rights Act of 1964
| | abstract |
[from the preface :] This paper is an account of the passage of one of the major pieces of legislation of this country, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, in the United States House of Representatives. It traces the background of civil rights legislation and some of the events which led to the introduction of the Civil Rights Bill by the President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, in June 1963. However, the aim of this study is not merely to present the formal legislative history of the bill in the House of Representatives, but to indicate how closely related the formal legislative process is to the informal pressures and influences which are exerted upon the legislators.
