A Supreme Court ruling creates Title IX to protect the rights of female college students.

Answer 1

The correct match between the action and the marginalized group is:

A Supreme Court ruling protects LGBTQ+ rights in Obergefell v. Hodges.

The other options contain inaccuracies:

• The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) was established by legislation, not an executive order, to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities.
• The Twenty-sixth Amendment grants voting rights to citizens who are 18 years and older, which protects the rights of young voters rather than specifically addressing women's rights.
• Title IX was established through legislation, not a Supreme Court ruling, to protect the rights of female students in educational programs and activities.

Therefore, the only correct pairing is regarding Obergefell v. Hodges and LGBTQ+ rights.
