Employment law is made up a great many common law rulings, statutes, administrative rules and legislation. Its governance falls under the umbrella of both federal and state statutes, as well as administrative regulation and judicial precedent.

Previous to Loving v. Virginia, there were several cases on the subject of miscegenation. In Pace v. Alabama (1883), the Supreme Court made a ruling that the conviction of an Alabama couple for interracial sex, confirmed on the plea by the Alabama Supreme Court, did not disrupt the Fourteenth Amendment. Interracial marital sex was considered a felony, whereas adulterous sex ("infidelity or fornication") was just a misdemeanor. On plea, the United States Supreme Court made a ruling that the illegalization of interracial sex was not a defilement of the equal protection clause since whites and non-whites were penalized in equivalent amount for the wrongdoing of involving in interracial sex. The court did not see the need to sustain the constitutionality of the prohibition on interracial marriage that was likewise part of Alabama's anti-miscegenation law. After Pace v. Alabama, the constitutionality of anti-miscegenation laws that were a ban on marriage and sex among whites and non-whites had stayed unopposed until the 1920s and this paper discusses its opposition after the loving vs. Virginia case gave it that push.
