Answer 1

Civil Rights Act of 1968

Step-by-step explanation:

While the Voting Rights Act seems correct, the CRA actually prohibited discrimination against federally authorized activities, such as holding office. The voting rights act mainly helped with allowing minorities to vote legally, not hold office. The Equal Rights Amendment is an amendment designed to make everyone equal regardless of gender, and the 26th amendment allows people 18+ to vote rather than 21.
