United States Commission on Civil Rights

Read a random definition: obligatio quasi ex delicto

A quick definition of United States Commission on Civil Rights:

The United States Commission on Civil Rights is a group that gathers information about unfair treatment based on things like race, religion, age, and disability. They look at things like voting, education, employment, and housing to see if people are being treated equally. They tell Congress what they find and suggest ways to make things better, but they can't make anyone do anything. The group was started in 1957 to help make sure everyone in the United States is treated fairly.

A more thorough explanation:

The United States Commission on Civil Rights is an agency that collects information about discrimination based on different factors such as race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin. It also gathers information about the denial of equal protection of the laws in areas such as voting, education, employment, and housing.

The agency does not have the power to enforce laws, but it makes findings and recommendations to Congress. It was established by the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and is commonly abbreviated as CCR.

For example, if a company refuses to hire someone because of their race or religion, that would be considered discrimination. The United States Commission on Civil Rights would collect information about this incident and make recommendations to Congress on how to prevent such discrimination in the future.

Another example would be if a school district provides unequal education opportunities to students based on their race or ethnicity. The Commission would investigate and make recommendations to Congress on how to ensure equal education opportunities for all students.

These examples illustrate how the United States Commission on Civil Rights works to protect individuals from discrimination and ensure equal protection under the law.
