Why has the Civil Rights Act of 1964 been called the most far-reaching civil rights legislation in American history?

History

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is known as far reaching due to the language it was passed with. For example, this law helps to stop workplace discrimination based on sex, religion, color, race, or national origin. These different qualifications make it wide reaching, as before this time laws were usually very specific as to who they applied to.

For example, the 15th amendment states that one cannot be stopped from voting based on race, color, or past servitude. This law was specifically targeted at helping African-Americans.

As you can see, with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it includes individuals other than those African-Americans who are fighting for civil rights. Along with this, the Civil Rights Act ends segregation in public places. This makes it so that this law applies to all citizens, not just African-Americans.

olga_2 [115]
I believe that the correct answer should be B), because he worsened the relations with the Soviet Union, relations that were much better during the time of previous president, Richard Nixon. It wasn't that much about the Afghan people, since he thought that i posed a""a grave threat to the free movement of Middle East oil". Also, he lost his 1980 election to Ronald Reagan, who promised-and delivered-an even more vigorous anticommunist foreign policy, which is why I strongly believe that the correct answer is B).
