Question

The last several decades of the Twentieth Century saw the emergence of new groups of Americans claiming rights as citizens. To what extent does the failure of the Equal Rights Amendment (Document 7) to be ratified, but the signing of Title IX (Document 8) into law, signal about the changing role and rights of women in modern America? After reading President George H.W. Bush’s remarks (Document 9), why do you believe it took so long for the country to acknowledge and protect the rights of the disabled?

Answer 1

Answer:

Due to ignorance of government.

Explanation:

It took very long time for the country to acknowledge and protect the rights of the disabled because the leaders of the country can't take it seriously and did not know the difficulties and problems of a disabled people. The other reason for its taking long time is the participation and interest of parents of disabled people. When more number of parents comes for the rights, it put pressure on the government and the government then passed the disabilities act. At last, The President George H.W. Bush passed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990.
