What was the original aim of affirmative action?

A.
equal opportunity for minority groups

B.
equal results for minority groups

C.
to meet quotas for school admissions

D.
to rewrite and expand the Fourteenth Amendment

Even though the goal of the affirmation action is to provide equal opportunities and results to the minority, I think the answer is C (I feel like I can't choose A over B or vice versa, unless I'm missing something).

Actually, now that I think about it, it might be A because the quotas came as a result of the affirmative action. Still not sure though

Yes, A.

it's B

The original aim of affirmative action was to provide equal opportunity for minority groups. It was intended to address historic and ongoing discrimination by promoting equal access to education, employment, and other opportunities for individuals from marginalized communities. The goal was to level the playing field and ensure that minority groups were not unfairly excluded or disadvantaged due to their race or gender. Affirmative action does not aim to guarantee equal results, but rather to create a more equitable starting point for individuals from underrepresented backgrounds. Option C, "to meet quotas for school admissions," is not the accurate answer, as quotas are just one possible method of implementing affirmative action, but not the primary objective.
