In the 1970s, civil rights activists worked with the branches of government to secure change. Here's how each description matches with the correct branch of government:
- Declared constitutional right to abortion services: Supreme Court
- Provided Indian tribes with self-determination: Congress
- Set policies to limit housing segregation: Executive Branch
- Provided assistance for mothers and young children: Congress
- Limited state laws restricting privacy: Supreme Court
- Required school districts to implement school integration: Supreme Court
Explanation:
- The Supreme Court declared the constitutional right to abortion services through the landmark case Roe v. Wade in 1973.
- Congress provided Indian tribes with self-determination through legislation such as the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975.
- The Executive Branch, particularly through the Department of Housing and Urban Development, set policies to limit housing segregation, such as the Fair Housing Act of 1968.
- Congress provided assistance for mothers and young children through programs like the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
- The Supreme Court limited state laws restricting privacy, including laws related to contraception and abortion, through decisions like Griswold v. Connecticut (1965).
- The Supreme Court also required school districts to implement school integration through its landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954) and subsequent rulings enforcing desegregation.
