Answer:

By enforcing the 14th amendment

Step-by-step explanation:

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 increased the power of the federal government relative to the power of state governments because it enforced the 14th Amendment; ended Jim Crow segregation in hotels, motels, restaurants, and other places of public accommodation, and prohibited discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, or gender.
