To answer this question, we need to match the correct action with the marginalized group it protects. Let's analyze each option:
1. The Twenty-sixth Amendment does not specifically address women's rights. It actually lowered the voting age from 21 to 18. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
2. An executive order creating the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is an accurate match. The ADA protects the civil rights of individuals with disabilities, not necessarily a specific marginalized group. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
3. A Supreme Court ruling protecting LGBTQ+ rights in Obergefell v. Hodges is an accurate match. The ruling legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, thus protecting the civil rights of the LGBTQ+ community. Therefore, this option is correct.
4. A Supreme Court ruling creating Title IX to protect the rights of female college students is an accurate match. Title IX was meant to prohibit discrimination based on sex in education. It plays an important role in protecting the rights of female students. Therefore, this option is correct.
In conclusion, the correct match is:
- A Supreme Court ruling protects LGBTQ+ rights in Obergefell v. Hodges.
- A Supreme Court ruling creates Title IX to protect the rights of female college students.
