Introduction
For many years a vast majority of Americans shared several beliefs about the goals of the government, its composition, and the public policies it considered most important. Many people felt that it was appropriate for the national government to have the power to provide protection for the primary civil rights of all Americans. The leaders felt that life and liberty were the leading rights that every citizen had to enjoy and that freedom was not equal to “something that the people could have access to as a ready-made gift.” Instead, it was “something they had to struggle to achieve.” This paper will give a response to a set of questions that address the political identity issues related to American rights.
Q 1
In general, the 1964 Act of Civil Rights dealt with the enforcement of the constitutional rights to vote; and to provide jurisdiction conference upon the United States district courts to ensure relief against discriminative actions in any public accommodations. It also strived to grant the Attorney General the authority to institute suits to ensure the protection of constitutional rights in both public education and public facilities, and to expand the Commission on matters of Civil Rights. Other aspects of the 1964 Civil Rights Act included preventing discrimination in all programs considered federally-assisted; and establishing a Commission dealing with Equal Employment Opportunity, among other purposes CITATION EEO16 l 1033 (EEOC).

An intensive review of the Title of the 1964 Civil Rights Act helps set up the legal foundation for which the founding fathers promised the American dream to be all inclusive. In a situation where every American has equal rights to vote, everyone gets the chance to contribute to the decisions of the national government. Other factors of all-inclusive covered in Title of the 1964 Civil Rights Act involve everyone have access to the constitutional rights.
Q 2
If a man’s identity is a resemblance of his history’s product through which he creates himself in a collective way, then any static law can indeed fulfill that traditional definition. A static law is the outcome of the human intervention, meaning that it is among the “tools” he uses to create himself in a collective manner. Here, he uses the law to protect himself and instill orderliness in the matters that help him mold himself in the way he feels appropriate.
Q 3
Naturally, human beings cannot achieve freedom if their identity is a social construct because each person represents a network of other people. Usually, a “personal decision” affects, impacts, influence, or involves other people in one way or another. For that reason, nobody is naturally free because he/she has to consider other when doing anything, and vice versa.
Q 4
If the natural liberties and natural rights are only mythical, some types of legal dictates that can be improvised to give standing to liberty and freedom are Acts and laws. These two factors regulate the extent to which one can have liberty and freedom, ensuring they enjoy, but do not abuse them CITATION Ger09 l 1033 (Vizenor).
Q 5
The realization that all the things that appear valuable to the life of humans that is man-made and consequently providing no permanent policies for any rights limit my confidence in the currency of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Although the Act provides equal rights to everyone, the fact that some people, particularly the leaders, have more say in deciding national matters than the citizens makes the realization and equal access to these rights impossible. In most cases, the decision-makers favor their interests at the expense of others.
