City of Boerne v. Flores
Supreme Court found Religious Freedom Restoration Act unconstitutional
Passed by Congress in 1993
Intended to protect religious freedoms guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment against infringement by state courts
Court asserted that act unduly burdened state and local governments by forcing them to recognize individual rights not specifically guaranteed in the Constitution

The lasting effect was clarifying Congress's rights. ]]> 2017-05-02 18:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/loleary18/ccvlifakm4an/wish/169505752 Protests and Opposition loleary18 https://padlet.com/loleary18/ccvlifakm4an/wish/170026085 Title IX: (3)
Title IX has been the main catalyst behind secondary school and college athletics programs creating more athletic opportunities for females. Title IX requires institutions receiving federal funding to provide equitable resources and opportunities for women in a nondiscriminatory way. The legislation states that "no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance."

Equal Pay: (4)
Pay equity concerns the fairness with which an economic system distributes its wealth and how it shares its recurring hardships. This disparity, or lack of pay equity, results from a concentration of assets in the upper economic brackets. Pay equity (achieving a fair sharing of wealth at all levels of society) seems to be a dilemma of the capitalist system, a system that generates capital but does not necessarily heed the moral or social implications of the creation of wealth. The pursuit of pay equity in the economy is an ongoing effort and involves the struggle by many groups to achieve economic justice.

March on Washington: (5)
The 1963 March on Washington, was where a quarter of a million people demonstrated for civil rights on the grounds of the Lincoln Memorial. It was the largest demonstration for human rights that the country had ever seen. The goals of the march would be to call attention to the need for the passage of Kennedy's civil rights bill; job training and placement for African-Americans and an end to job segregation; and integration of the nation's schools by the end of the year.
