The Equal RIghts AmendmentThe main purpose of this source is to state the rights under these amendments. Such as not being discriminated by gender and how Congress must abide by this rule. Although it did the two years to become enforced after it was ratified. Thanks to Alice Paul this amendment was able to come about. Women strongly fought for "equal justice under law" for all citizens, including both men and women.
The source is speaking about the amendment which allowed equality due to gender. The original amendment was written in the year of 1920 and was passed by congress. The audience was all American citizens but in particular women who yearned for this ay to come. It was scripted in order for men and women to have equal rights, causing a balance between them. Mainly about the amendment and how it helped women become for involved and independent. The tone is very scholarly and straight to the point regarding the subject. Clara C. |
Americans With Disabilities ActAmericans with disabilities cannot be discriminated against in the workplace similar to protections of people protected by civil rights laws. This is also true for public accommodations. This is for places like theaters and restaurants. Local and state governments cannot deny social services to people on account of their disabilities. If the services cannot be provided then another solution must be found.
This reflects President George Bush's goal for a kinder and gentler America. This landmark legislation protected the then over forty million Americans afflicted with mental or physical disabilities. It functions similarly to the Civil Rights act passed 15 years earlier, but instead of protecting minority groups and women this legislation would protect the disabled. This is ironic considering that the Bush administration would go on to fight burning social issues like affirmative action and abortion. Eric L. |
