background: On March 7, 1966, the United States Supreme Court delivered a decisive blow to institutionalized disenfranchisement with its ruling in South Carolina v. Katzenbach. Coming exactly one year after the brutal "Bloody Sunday" attacks in Selma, this landmark 8-1 decision upheld the constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. South Carolina had challenged the federal government, arguing that the Act's "preclearance" requirements—which forced certain states to get federal approval before changing voting laws—violated states' rights. Chief Justice Earl Warren, writing for the majority, rejected this claim, asserting that Congress possessed the full authority under the 15th Amendment to use "stringent new remedies" to "banish the blight of racial discrimination in voting." By validating the federal government's power to strike down literacy tests and poll taxes, the Court ensured that the hard-won victories of the Selma marchers were legally unshakeable, effectively shifting the burden of proof from the disenfranchised citizens to the states attempting to restrict them.
