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.
an executive order creates the ada
the twenty-sixth Amendment protects women's rights
A Supreme Court ruling creates title lx to protect the rights of female college students
a supreme court ruling protects lgvtq+ rights in Obergefellv Hodges
an executive order creates the ada - marginalized group: individuals with disabilities
the twenty-sixth Amendment protects women's rights - marginalized group: women
A Supreme Court ruling creates title IX to protect the rights of female college students - marginalized group: female college students
a supreme court ruling protects LGTBQ+ rights in Obergefell v. Hodges - marginalized group: LGTBQ+ individuals
The examples of how the federal government took actions to extend or protect the civil rights of marginalized groups are:
1. An executive order creates the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) - This action is matched with individuals with disabilities.
2. The Twenty-Sixth Amendment protects women's rights - This action is matched with women's rights.
3. A Supreme Court ruling creates Title IX to protect the rights of female college students - This action is matched with female college students' rights.
4. A Supreme Court ruling protects LGBTQ+ rights in Obergefell v. Hodges - This action is matched with LGBTQ+ rights.
To identify the correct marginalized group matched with each action taken by the federal government to extend or protect civil rights, you would need to analyze the context behind each action.
1. An executive order creates the ADA: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. The marginalized group in this case would be people with disabilities.
2. The Twenty-Sixth Amendment protects women's rights: The Twenty-Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution lowered the voting age from 21 to 18. While this amendment does not specifically protect women's rights, it grants equal voting rights to all citizens, including women.
3. A Supreme Court ruling creates Title IX to protect the rights of female college students: Title IX is a federal civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination in education. It ensures equal opportunities for female students in educational institutions. In this case, the marginalized group would be female college students.
4. A Supreme Court ruling protects LGBTQ+ rights in Obergefell v. Hodges: Obergefell v. Hodges was a landmark Supreme Court case that legalized same-sex marriage across the United States. The marginalized group in this case would be LGBTQ+ individuals.
Please note that although the Twenty-Sixth Amendment and Obergefell v. Hodges may indirectly impact women's rights and LGBTQ+ rights respectively, their main focus is on broader issues such as voting rights and marriage equality.
