The magistracy's act of marking Hester Prynne with a scarlet letter makes people in the community fear becoming similarly shamed.

The correct answer is: "People in the community fear becoming similarly shamed."

Indeed, Hester Prynne has been convicted of adultery because of giving birth to a child out of wedlock. This is not only considered a sin by the very religious and Puritan society of her time but a crime under their theocratic laws. Her Scarlett letter is a form of public shaming that completely ostracizes her from her society and most people scorn her for her sin.

What did the Civil Rights Act do?
77julia77 [94]

The Civil Rights Act banned racial discrimination.

The 15th Amendment granted African Americans the right to vote. In the U.S. Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson, it was ruled that racially separate facilities, if equal, did not violate the Constitution. Finally, in the U. S. Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education, it was ruled that racial segregation in public schools are unconstitutional.
