Why was the civil rights act of 1968 passed so soon after the civil rights act of 1964 and the voting rights act of 1965? a. the legislation addressed new issues pressed by the women's movement. b. the previous legislation did not address housing discrimination. c. the legislation had to be renewed by congress every four years. d. the previous legislation did not address workplace discrimination..

The correct answer is B) The previous legislation did not address housing discrimination.

The Civil Rights Act of 1968 was passed so soon after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 because the previous legislation did not address housing discrimination.

Better known as the Fair Housing Act of 1968, The Civil Rights Act of 1968 prohibited any kind of discrimination when buying or renting a house. In the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the legislation did not mention anything about this topic, so it was necessary to create another piece of legislation to contemplate it. In the past, there had been many cases of racial discrimination when African Americans or other minorities wanted to buy or rent a house in certain neighborhoods.

the arab empire adopted the muslim religion as their main belief. arabs would influence the people from the territories they invaded towards islam (the muslim belief).

nevertheless, throughout the history of the arab empire, rulers brought intellectual individuals from other religions to their centers of learning. these other foreigners included jews, christians, greeks, persians, and indians.   these resulted in the adoption of important knowledge developed by these cultures by the arabic empire. for example, the works of aristotle were translated from greek to arab and indian scientists brought the numerical concept of "zero" to the arabs.

nowadays, 93% of the arab population is muslim, which at the same time is subdivided in sects including the sunni, zaini, alawi, shia. the remaining 7% is composed mainly of christians.
