Women in the United States fought together to achieve equal rights since the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848. The rights that women strived to achieve included equal status to men in the workforce, politics, and everyday life. Before this movement broke out women were discriminated against in the workplace, politics were primarily male occupied, and there were no large groups of women to fight for change. There was no law preventing women from being elected into office, however, because women could not vote, and men were adverse to the idea of a female in office, women who ran were very rarely elected. The women's rights movement improved the lives of women by helping them achieve equal rights to men in their home life, work, and politics.…
The Boston Tea Party, The Women’s Suffrage movement, Abolition of Slavery, introduction to labor laws and union, and The Civil Rights Movement, are historical social reforms that individuals were fueled by deep conviction demonstrating civil disobedience. The U.S Bill of Rights asserts that the authority of a government is from the governed, and if any form of the government becomes destructive and is not in the right of the duty of the people, then it should be alter or abolished. Social reform is taken for granted today and holds a significant role throughout history. Usually tactics of nonviolence are demonstrated, and there have been more passive resistance demonstrations to take from when an individual and unjust law clash. #Blacklivesmatter…
