Solution

Answer

The answer is: It made it unlawful for the state to use race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin as a reason to either discriminate against or grant preferential treatment to anyone.

Explanation

Option 1: It expanded antidiscrimination protection to include sexual orientation.

This option is incorrect. Proposition 289 did not specifically address sexual orientation in its provisions.

Option 2: It made it unlawful for the state to use race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin as a reason to either discriminate against or grant preferential treatment to anyone.

This option is correct. Proposition 209, which is likely what the question refers to, was passed in California in 1996. It amended the state constitution to prohibit state governmental institutions from considering race, sex, or ethnicity, specifically in the areas of public employment, public contracting, and public education.

Option 3: It gave the governor additional powers to enforce antidiscrimination legislation.

This option is incorrect. Proposition 209 did not grant additional powers to the governor regarding antidiscrimination legislation.

Option 4: It included a provision formally sanctioning.

This option is incomplete and does not accurately describe the content or impact of Proposition 209.
