The 39th United States Congress proposed the Fourteenth Amendment on June 13, 1866. A difference between the initial and final versions of the clause was that the final version spoke not just of equal protection but of the equal protection of the laws.oubts about whether Congress could legitimately enact the Civil Rights Bill of 1866 under the then-existing Constitution was one factor that led Congress to begin to draft and debate what would become the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 is commonly known as the Fair Housing Act and was meant as a followâup to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.While the Civil Rights Act of 1866 prohibited discrimination in housing, there were no federal enforcement provisions.ictims of discrimination may use both the 1968 act and the 1866 act via section 1983 to seek redress.
