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.

In what ways could the failure to enforce conscription weaken Rome
Schach [20]

Conscription means the forced enlisting of the people of a county into national services, the term is mostly used for military enrollments. In Rome the conscription was enforced to a certain or some certain classes of people which left a little choice for them to choose the skilled people. For example people chosen for military might have come from farmer class who know nothing about operating a war machine or anything about the war or military which ultimately weakened the Rome. If there are less farmers in the country that simply mean there is less food to process also, another was a country could get weak.

Or the elite class was left out who already were not contributing to the good of society.
