The most accurate statement regarding the political outcomes of the Civil Rights Movement is that it was instrumental in the passing of laws that prohibited discrimination based on race, gender, religion, and national origin. Some of the landmark laws that were passed include the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968. These laws not only improved the legal status of minorities but also helped to create a more equal and just society by removing institutionalized discrimination from the political and social systems.
