AP US Government
Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.13
How have changes in public sentiment regarding race relations influenced subsequent interpretations and adjustments to affirmative action policy?
Public opinion has only led to stricter enforcement of original interpretations of affirmative action without any modifications made since its inception.
Public sentiment has universally favored abolition rather than modification or re-interpretation of Affirmative Action policies since they were first instituted.
Changes in public sentiment do not influence adjustment or interpretation of legislation such as Affirmative Action once established.
As societal perspectives evolve, court decisions and executive orders have modified affirmative action accordingly.
