Answer:

Two major pieces of legislation that were passed as a result of the Civil Rights Movement were the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Explanation:

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a milestone in United States law prohibiting major forms of discrimination against African Americans and women, including racial segregation. The law eliminated unequal requirements for voter registration and segregation in schools, at work, and by public services.

In turn, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a milestone in federal law in the United States that prohibits racial discrimination in voting. The law was designed to practically guarantee the voting rights for African Americans, formally guaranteed by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. For example, the Voting Rights Act secured the right to vote for racial minorities across the country, especially in the South. Other provisions prohibit language proficiency tests and similar procedures used in the past to discourage racial minorities.
