Question

Identify an example for each of the social movements (Civil Rights, Women's Rights, and LGBT Rights) where public policy was influenced by citizen-state interactions and constitutional interpretations over time.

Answer 1

Answer:

Example of Civil Rights: Black Suffrage

Example of Women's Rights: Legal Abortion, Roe v. Wade case

LGBTIQ+ Rights: Marriage Equality

Explanation:

Black Suffrage was obtained after the Civil War: in many countries the right to vote was obtained with independence, but in USA black men had to wait until the end of the Civil War to obtain this right.

In 1973 the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States would protect a pregnant woman's liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction, thus recognising the woman's right to freely choose.

Same-sex marriage in the United States expanded from one state in 2004 to all fifty states in 2015.

This three examples are rights that were denied to minorities, and through social activism were finally acquired.
