1 answer:

6 0

All people born or naturalized in the United States, including former slaves, were granted citizenship by the 1868 ratification of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which also guaranteed all citizens "equal protection of the laws."

The Fourteenth Amendment, which was added to the Constitution of the United States in 1868, included African Americans and slaves who had been freed from slavery following the American Civil War under the general heading "all persons born or naturalized in the United States." It also gave them equal civil and legal rights. The amendment has five sections in total, four of which were first proposed separately in 1866, stalled in the legislative process, and were later combined with a fifth enforcement section to form a single amendment.

Answer:

A) Recruiting at community events near or on Native American reservations and from colleges located nearby

Explanation:

The approach that will yield maximum result if adopted will be for the UCA to carryout their recruitment at community events near or on Native American reservations and from colleges located nearby, by adopting this practice, more Native Americans will be reached for employment opportunities and thus giving them an edge/added chance of being employed, considering that Native Americans are relatively communal. For example, if recruitment is carried out at community events on Native American reservations, the population of Native Americans applying will be higher than any other ethnicity and thus the percentage of qualified Native Americans for the jobs compared to other ethnic groups will still be higher leading to an increase in the numbers employed.

Rating all applicants on a 100 point scale and giving the Native Americans an added 20 point will infringe on fair labour practices and besides Native Americans population are relatively communal.

Option C and D will equally infringe on fair labour practices
