For example, the purpose of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act were to protect constitutional rights.
well the CRA in many/most cases denied rights, like the most famous contemporary examples of the right to freely associate
now the point of the VRA wasn't to deny rights, but the execution denied equal participation in the political process to all sorts of people. forced districts based on minority representation removed the ability of those communities/states to draw up the districts.
now, you're probably going to respond with something about my subjective evaluations, but whether i agree or disagree with these laws is irrelevant to the discussion. i'm just pointing out that they do deny rights/liberties to people

I'll concede that the CRA infringes on private property rights but earlier you said that laws only deny rights? Are you denying that the CRA and the VRA restored many rights that had been denied during the Jim Crow era?
