Why did the civil right amendment have to be passed

History

dezoksy [38]1 year ago

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.

Incomplete question. However, I inferred from a historical perspective.

Thomas Gage (General Thomas Gage) was is a famous British general that controlled a large portion of British soldiers in North America during the British colonial era.

His statement likely came at a time when there was large opposition coming from Boston over perceived injustices from the government. Hence, his statement meant they (those in power) were losing or not in control over Boston.
