Answer 2

C. It outlawed job discrimination and created the EEOC to investigate charges of job discrimination.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 aimed to end discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin and achieved full legal equality in the nation by banning any type of discrimination in Americans lives.

To address job discrimination, the Act created the the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that enforced Federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination and investigated charges of job discrimination, whether it involves unfair treatment because of race, color, religion, sex, age, etc., harassment by managers, co-workers, or others in the workplace, denial of a reasonable workplace accommodation that the employee needs because of religious beliefs or disability or retaliation because the employee complained about job discrimination, or assisted with a job discrimination investigation or lawsuit.
