Question

________ has been interpreted to forbid discrimination on the basis of race in employment, which is essentially a contractual relationship.

A) The Reconstruction Act
B) The Title VII Act
C) The Civil Rights Act of 1964
D) The Civil Rights Act of 1866

Answer 1

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it illegal to discriminate based on race or color in employment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it illegal to treat individuals unfavorably because of their race or color of their skin: An employer cannot discriminate based on skin color, hair texture, or other immutable characteristics, which are traits of an individual that are fundamental to their identity, in hiring, benefits, promotions, or termination of employees. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 amends the Civil Rights Act; it prohibits job discrimination of a woman because she is pregnant as long as she can perform the work required.
