• In Supreme Court case Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, the court ruled that forced busing of students to integrate schools is permissible.
• President Grant, who led Northern armies during the Civil War to defeat the Southern Confederacy, was elected in 1868.
• Hundreds of White and Black people got on buses and rode through the South to test the desegregation of interstate travel by the federal government

Answer 1

The tactic that best illustrates a political party's effort to reconcile American ideals with public policy is:

• Leaders of the National American Woman Suffrage Association lobbied state legislators to pass state amendments to permit women voting rights.

This action directly aimed at promoting the democratic ideal of voting rights for women, aligning public policy with the American ideal of equality and participation in democracy. The other options, while significant, either pertain to judicial rulings or specific historical events that do not directly represent a systematic effort by a political party to reconcile ideals with policy.
