sentences:  The Court wrote that the "Monroe" Court misinterpreted the meaning of §1983, and that were §1983 unconstitutional as applied to municipal entities, it would also be unconstitutional as applied to municipal officers.The Court noted that 1871 Congress clearly intended §1983 to apply to such officers and agreed that they could be subject to liability under §1983, and that the Act was also clearly intended to provide a remedy against all forms of official violation of constitutional rights.Second, in overruling "Monroe v. Pape", the Court considered that Monroe departed from prior practice insofar as it completely immunized municipal entitles from liability under §1983.
