Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'broader' (more wide/greater in scope) combined with 'acceptance' (approval) yields 'greater approval or tolerance.' This is a standard adjective-comparative + noun construction that a B1 learner who knows the constituents can infer, so it is transparent.
Etymology
Broader acceptance creates a simple picture: imagine a door or circle getting wider so more people can come in. The word broader means wider and acceptance means being welcomed, so the image helps show it means 'greater approval or tolerance' in a group or society.
