Answer 1

To answer this question, we need to match each action with the correct marginalized group. Let's go through each option one by one:

1. "An executive order creates the ADA." - The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. It extends civil rights protections to people with disabilities. Therefore, the marginalized group in this case is individuals 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 years. Although this amendment did not specifically protect women's rights, it did expand voting rights for women as well as men. Therefore, the marginalized group in this case is women.

3. "A Supreme Court ruling protects LGBTQ+ rights in Obergefell v. Hodges." - In the case Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have the constitutional right to marry, thereby granting legal recognition and protection to LGBTQ+ individuals. Therefore, the marginalized group in this case is LGBTQ+ individuals.

4. "A Supreme Court ruling creates Title IX to protect the rights of female college students." - Title IX is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education. While it does not protect all female individuals, it aims to protect the rights of female college students and ensure gender equity in educational programs. Therefore, the marginalized group in this case is female college students.

Based on the explanations above, we can match the actions correctly:

- The executive order that creates the ADA protects individuals with disabilities.
- The Twenty-sixth Amendment protects women's rights.
- The Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges protects LGBTQ+ rights.
- The Supreme Court ruling that creates Title IX protects the rights of female college students.

Therefore, the correct matches are:
- The ADA: Individuals with disabilities.
- The Twenty-sixth Amendment: Women.
- Obergefell v. Hodges: LGBTQ+ individuals.
- Title IX: Female college students.
