Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: the ideal answer should:
1. Define the Reagan and Bush administrations in how they distinguished between what might be called the old civil rights law, which they claimed to support, and the new civil rights law, which they opposed.
2. Point out that old civil rights laws developed between the Brown decision in 1954 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. They prohibited intentional discrimination, be it legal segregation in the schools, informal discrimination in the workplace, or racial restrictions on voting.
3. Note that the new civil rights law was concerned with discriminatory outcomes, as measured by statistical disparities, rather than with discriminatory intent.
4. Conclude that both conservative presidents Reagan and Bush championed old civil rights laws and worked against new civil rights laws to the dismay of progressives and African Americans. They made this distinction in order to roll back civil rights gains for ethnic minorities.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
