The Civil Rights Act that passed in 1964 A: was stronger than the first draft of the act. B: was weaker than the first draft of the act. C: was rewritten in response to a Senate filibuster. D: was rewritten in response to the House of Representatives.
My guess is A.
On June 19, the president sent his bill to Congress as the original written version, explaining that legislative action was "imperative". The president's bill went first to the House of Representatives, where it was referred to the Judiciary Committee, chaired by Emmanuel Celler, a Democrat from New York. After a series of hearings on the bill, Celler's committee strengthened the act, adding provisions to ban racial discrimination in employment, providing greater protection to black voters, eliminating segregation in all publicly owned facilities (not just schools), and strengthening the anti-segregation clauses regarding public facilities such as lunch counters.
if you though it was TLDR, Read this... It was sent and to the House of Representatives. Where it was improved upon.
But this is talking about the one ONLY passed at 1964, so it was a stronger and more refined version then before.
What answer reflects that?
A?
Wait no D?
Good Job!
Its the first.
Okay I though It was. Thanks for the help. :)
