Question

Which goal was shared by the women's rights movement and the Civil Rights movement? A. greater protections for voting rights B. the passage of laws banning discrimination C. increased government support for higher education D. a reduction in poverty for members of the movement

Answer 1

"B. the passage of laws banning discrimination" was shared by the women's rights movement and the Civil Rights movement. For the women it was primarily discrimination in voting, and for the Civil Rights movement it was mainly job and facility discrimination. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Both the Women's Rights Movement and the Civil Rights Movement goal was the passage of laws banning discrimination against the groups they represented (women and African-American people).

In the case of the Women's Rights Movement, the main objective was to obtain the right to vote.

In turn, the Civil Rights Movement was a long, and mainly non-violent, struggle to extend full access to civil rights and equality before the law to African-American citizens.

In both cases, the main objective was to obtain laws that prohibited discrimination against these groups.
