Answer 1

Answer:

They created a set of laws that prohibited any form of discrimination.

Explanation:

They introduced gender equality, which essentially was non-existent, as the male was seen as the head of the family. They also was an early proponent in race equality, treating African slaves the same as their white counterparts, with respect. These little changes from the daily norms of the days is what sets the Quakers apart from other groups of their days.
