Executive order 9980 required federal government civil service commission to establish fair employment rules in all of the agencies for all people. No matter age, nationality, race, or color. Executive order 9981 prohibited discrimination in the military. The executive orders outlined the way policies must be implemented. That is why the executive orders 9980 and 9981 were significant for the civil rights movement because they provided clear pathways and policies for desegregation.
