Why did the civil right amendment have to be passed

History
1 answer:
dezoksy [38]1 year ago
3 0

The Civil Rights amendment was passed to prohibit discrimination in public accommodations and federally funded programs.

In June 1963, President John F. Kennedy requested an extensive civil rights package from Congress as a result of the widespread opposition to desegregation and the killing of Medgar Evers. Congress enacted the above law in 1964.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 deemed discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin as illegal. The provisions of the Act prohibited discrimination in workplace related to hiring, retaining or firing an employee on the basis of sex as well as race. Additionally, it strengthened the implementation of voting rights and school desegregation. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the holy grail for civil rights law in the United States and it continues to be relevant till date.

Who do historians consider the winner of the War of 1812, and why?
Helen [10]
The answer is nobody. Accounts regarding the 1812 War which lasted from June 18, 1812 to February 18, 1815 never mentioned any exact winner since there is no winner at all. There was a truce between the two opposing sides - the United States of America and the United Kingdom. However, for the perspectives of the Canadian, they won since their territory was not snatched by the US. On the other hand, Americans would say that it was a tie.
