through the law is that it's her work is generally
00:03 - 00:06
a positive force and that her legacy has quite a
00:06 - 00:10
big impact on American society, specifically and through the Western
00:11 - 00:12
and international law world.
00:14 - 00:17
I agree with Ginsburg's changes and works to abolish gender
00:18 - 00:21
based discrimination on the basis that it interferes with the
00:21 - 00:24
14th Amendment in the American Constitution, because I believe that
00:25 - 00:27
women and men should both have just as much opportunity
00:27 - 00:30
to succeed and get recognition for their accomplishments.
00:31 - 00:34
For example, a smart woman is just as worthy and
00:34 - 00:36
capable of getting a job at a smart man.
00:37 - 00:39
Could her work with a C.
00:39 - 00:41
L. U propelled a change in the breadwinner homemaker model
00:42 - 00:45
in the USA and now accept all forms of roles
00:45 - 00:46
both men and women can take?
00:47 - 00:49
This meant that she also fought for the rights of
00:49 - 00:52
men who were vulnerable, such as widowers who were denied
00:53 - 00:55
Social Security survivor benefits.
00:55 - 00:58
Her fighting proved that men could also very much be
00:58 - 01:01
discriminated against, especially if they do not fit in the
01:01 - 01:03
traditionalist ideal roles.
01:03 - 01:07
Showcasing the feminism doesn't just help women, but also met
01:08 - 01:11
her progressive originalist Viewpoints supports the idea that the constitution
01:12 - 01:16
should reflect the society of the present day and therefore
01:16 - 01:19
should accommodate for it within the means of judicial interpretation.
01:20 - 01:22
I think that is a very modern approach to use
01:23 - 01:25
for the law to better the community it serves, especially
01:26 - 01:28
in the USA, where the Constitution as regard to something
01:29 - 01:31
that cannot be changed and must stay the same as
01:31 - 01:32
it was when it was written.
01:33 - 01:35
I think First Amendment gun rights and how and how
01:35 - 01:36
hard it is to get rid of that.
01:37 - 01:39
RBG pushed for a more modern reform to the Constitution,
01:40 - 01:43
keeping in mind that RBG is not saying to rewrite
01:43 - 01:46
the Constitution but instead to use it as a template
01:46 - 01:49
to better our current society using illegal interpretation.
01:51 - 01:54
Another aspect of our ddgs tactics that I found to
01:54 - 01:57
be surprisingly effective are the way she used male perspective
01:58 - 02:00
to visualize the issues of female suppression.
02:02 - 02:04
This helped her gain support of her male counterparts because
02:04 - 02:06
she was in a male dominated work environment.
02:07 - 02:09
To help them understand her views, she had to cater
02:10 - 02:14
her issues to the male audience, her understanding of feminist
02:14 - 02:17
jurisprudence and the law, and that the loss typically catered
02:18 - 02:20
towards men helped her win over many cases.
02:21 - 02:25
Rather than using the court to examine inequalities facing women,
02:25 - 02:29
where nine men were unlikely to be sympathetic, she asked
02:29 - 02:32
them to look at inequalities affecting men because she thought
02:32 - 02:34
it was more likely that they would recognize those as
02:34 - 02:38
problematic. Michele Dauber, a law professor at Stanford University, stated.
02:40 - 02:44
The accumulation of new protections, one by Ginsberg and others
02:44 - 02:47
have followed many Americans to envision versions of family Life
02:47 - 02:49
beyond the breadwinner, homemaker Binary.
02:50 - 02:51
And I think it is.
02:51 - 02:55
It is a significant legacy that RBG has and that
02:55 - 02:58
everyone, especially in America, to notice today in many aspects
02:59 - 02:59
of American law.
