<h3> Data Generation & Analysis </h3>

<p>This article is a historical-comparative study of three major civil rights statutes (voting rights, equal employment, and fair housing) and is motivated by one fundamental question: why are some civil rights laws more successful than others? Consensus exists among civil rights scholars that voting rights was far and away the most successful of the three; that fair housing was a general failure; and that equal employment opportunity was <em>moderately successful</em>. Our study seeks to explain this specific hierarchy of civil rights outcomes across these three cases. As is the case with all historical-comparative research, qualitative data and qualitative analysis are essential because each case is constructed and compared holistically with respect to historical events and outcomes, the actors involved and the choices they made (and why they made them), and the consequences of those actions for civil rights policy success.</p>

### 数据生成与分析
本文为一项针对三项核心民权法案（投票权法案、平等就业法案与公平住房法案）的历史比较研究，核心探究问题为：为何部分民权法律的实施成效优于其他法案？
民权研究学界已达成普遍共识：三项法案中，投票权法案的实施成效最为显著；公平住房法案整体收效甚微；而平等就业机会法案则取得了中等程度的成功。
本研究旨在阐释这三项民权法案实施成效的层级差异逻辑。
与所有历史比较研究同理，质性数据与质性分析均为必不可少的研究手段：每项案例均需结合历史事件与结果、参与主体及其决策（含决策动因）、以及相关行为对民权政策实施成效的影响进行整体建构与比较。
