answer
The Civil Rights Movement was a movement by the people, not a law to be passed by congress. A result of the Civil Rights Movement was the consideration of many bills passed by congress into law. Among them were the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968.
Congress is limited in its powers and authority by the Constitution, which outlines specific responsibilities and restrictions for the legislative branch. These limitations include the requirement to follow the principles of federalism, separation of powers, and checks and balances. Congress cannot pass laws that violate the Constitution or infringe on individual rights protected by the Bill of Rights. Additionally, the President has the power to veto legislation passed by Congress, and the Supreme Court can declare laws unconstitutional.
