Think about the examples of how the federal government took actions to extend or protect the civil rights of marginalized groups. Identify the action that is matched with the correct marginalized group.
A Supreme Court ruling creates Title IX to protect the rights of female college students.
An executive order creates the ADA.
A Supreme Court ruling protects LGBTQ+ rights in Obergefell v. Hodges.
The Twenty-sixth Amendment protects women's rights.
A Supreme Court ruling creates Title IX to protect the rights of female college students - Matched with women's rights.
An executive order creates the ADA - Matched with the rights of individuals with disabilities.
A Supreme Court ruling protects LGBTQ+ rights in Obergefell v. Hodges - Matched with LGBTQ+ rights.
The Twenty-sixth Amendment protects women's rights - Incorrectly matched. The Twenty-sixth Amendment actually lowered the voting age from 21 to 18, ensuring that the rights of young adults are protected.
1. A Supreme Court ruling creates Title IX to protect the rights of female college students: This action is correctly matched with the marginalized group of female college students.
2. An executive order creates the ADA: This action is correctly matched with the marginalized group of individuals with disabilities.
3. A Supreme Court ruling protects LGBTQ+ rights in Obergefell v. Hodges: This action is correctly matched with the marginalized group of LGBTQ+ individuals.
4. The Twenty-sixth Amendment protects women's rights: This statement is incorrect. The Twenty-sixth Amendment actually lowered the voting age from 21 to 18, giving young people the right to vote. It did not specifically protect women's rights. The correct action that protected women's rights is the Nineteenth Amendment, which granted women the right to vote.
To identify the action that matches the correct marginalized group, we need to understand the details of each action:
1. A Supreme Court ruling creates Title IX to protect the rights of female college students.
This action directly addresses the rights of female college students, aiming to protect them from discrimination based on sex. This matches to the marginalized group of female students.
2. An executive order creates the ADA.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is legislation that aims to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities by prohibiting discrimination and ensuring accessibility in various domains. This action addresses the marginalized group of individuals with disabilities.
3. A Supreme Court ruling protects LGBTQ+ rights in Obergefell v. Hodges.
The ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges specifically legalized same-sex marriage across the United States, thus extending a fundamental right to LGBTQ+ individuals. This action addresses the marginalized group of LGBTQ+ individuals.
4. The Twenty-sixth Amendment protects women's rights.
The Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution lowers the voting age from 21 to 18. Though it does not exclusively address women's rights, it ensures equal voting rights regardless of sex, which can indirectly benefit women. However, the amendment itself is not specifically focused on protecting women's rights.
In conclusion, the correct matches are:
- A Supreme Court ruling creates Title IX to protect the rights of female college students.
- An executive order creates the ADA.
- A Supreme Court ruling protects LGBTQ+ rights in Obergefell v. Hodges.
- The Twenty-sixth Amendment does not specifically protect women's rights.
