Question 3 • EA Academy Civics 9

In the 1950s, what was legally allowed in the US?

Answer
A
marriage between people of the same gender
B
banning LGBTQ+ people from the military
C
denying citizenship for Indigenous people
D
access to mainstream classrooms for all children

Explanation

In the 1950s, the U.S. government barred LGBTQ+ people from military service, and the policy was enforced through investigations and discharges. The other choices do not fit: same-gender marriage was not legally recognized, Indigenous people had been granted U.S. citizenship in 1924, and access to mainstream classrooms for all children was not guaranteed.
