''South Carolina v. Katzenbach'', 383 U.S. 301 (1966) is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court rejected a challenge by the state of South Carolina to the preclearance provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which required that some states submit changes in election districts to the Attorney General of the United States (at the time, Nicholas Katzenbach).〔http://www.oyez.org/cases/1960-1969/1965/1965_22_orig South Carolina v. Katzenbach, U.S. Supreme Court Case Summary & Oral Argument〕 ==Background== In South Carolina, the state attorney general, Daniel R. McLeod filed a complaint directly with the Supreme Court attacking the constitutionality of the act and asking for an injunction against enforcement by the attorney general of the United States, Nicholas Katzenbach. McLeod challenged the Voting Rights Act as an unconstitutional encroachment on states’ rights, as a violation of equality between the states, and as an illegal bill of attainder (legislative punishment enforced without due process of law.) 〔 Finkelman, Paul. "South Carolina v. Katzenbach." Milestone Documents in African American History: Exploring the Essential Primary Sources. ed. Vol. 4. 2010. Print.〕
South Carolina was joined on its attack on the Voting Rights Act by other southern states. Meanwhile, twenty states that filed in support of the act’s provisions and powers mainly consisted of northern states and western states. The case took on an even wider significance than normal in a state challenge to a new federal law. 〔
The decision represents a rare instance of the Supreme Court exercising its original jurisdiction, as the case was filed directly in the Supreme Court by the state of South Carolina, rather than being appealed from a lower court. The court intentionally heard the case prior to the 1966 elections.
