Question

the civil rights act expanded
the role of women in government.
states’ rights to control voting processes.
segregation in public facilities.
the federal government’s power.

Explanation:

The Civil Rights Act (1964) aimed to end segregation and discriminatory practices, which required the federal government to enforce these protections over state-level discriminatory policies, thus expanding its authority to regulate private and state actions related to civil rights. The other options are incorrect: it did not focus on women's government roles, it reduced states' ability to control voting processes in discriminatory ways, and it banned segregation in public facilities.

Answer:

D. the federal government's power.
