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.
I would need the diagram to answer this but people on other resources state that B is the correct answer :)

Explanation:
Law does not function in vacuum. Law operates for and in the society; and it is influenced by the mores and attitudes of the society. Correspondingly, law is an instrument of social change. The law thus never can be static; it has to change constantly with the changes in the society. Judiciary plays a major role for this change since judges interpret and redefine the laws through their judicial decisions. The demands of the time and society become prominent factors for judge in the law interpretation process. Their judicial opinions consequently become precedents - 'settled' or 'established' law that can provide legal foundation for settling subsequent cases. Hence, those who are associated in the field of law have to read case judgments for their research or academic purposes.
Mere knowledge of legal rules is not enough to do research in law. It also needs the analytical skills to extract ratio, observation and to apply these principles in different factual situations. This paper endeavors to identify certain parameters, which by no means are exhaustive but are only enabling points which could help a researcher to read and understand the judicial opinion. To achieve the very purposes of reading, the yardstick is not mere the ability to read, but to comprehend very essence of what is written.
The author believes that when a judgment is written well with clarity and consistency, even a common man would be able to figure out the contours of law. Since the objective of any judgment or judicial opinion is justice, the judge's conveying skill and the reader's skill ought to converge upon a common end.

Explanation:
According to Mr. Lincoln’s one-time law partner, William Herndon, Mr. Lincoln followed Theodore Parker’s ideas. Mr. Parker was a Unitarian minister and he promoted the purity of inner ideals and individualism over corrupted social customs and laws. His one-time law partner once said, ‘’the U.S. Constitution is a provisional compromise between the ideal political principle of the Declaration and the actual selfishness of the people North and South.”
Mr. Abraham Lincoln didn’t say ‘’this took place 87 years before the 1863 gathering at Gettysburg, but he said “Fourscore and seven years ago” (a score being 20 years). By 1863, America had outlived a human life, and Mr. Lincoln had frequently called on his contemporaries to live up to the ideas of the past generation of American founders.
