You may choose one not on the list but it should exist between the 15th and 19th Centuries, and you must provide a link to the policy.

Discuss its contribution/relationship to race and gender stratification–including the name(s) of specific racial and ethnic, sex and gender group(s) the policy targets (directly or indirectly)–and discuss its relevance to some current event or policy in action today that centers race/ethnicity and sex/gender.
