Question 18 • US History Studies Since 1877

Which provisions did the Civil Rights Act of 1964 include?

Answer
A
segregation in some places
B
new enforcement tools for federal laws
C
a change in the voting age
D
age discrimination in the workplace

Explanation

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 gave the federal government stronger tools to enforce civil rights laws, including allowing the attorney general to bring lawsuits against discrimination. It also prohibited segregation in public accommodations rather than including or preserving it. Changing the voting age and banning workplace age discrimination were addressed by other measures, not this act.
