rights of persons with disabilities act, 2016
the americans with disabilities act of 1990—which has been called "the most important piece of federal legislation since the civil rights act of 1964"—was influenced both by the structure and substance of the previous civil rights act of 1964. the act was arguably of equal importance, and "draws substantially from the structure of that landmark legislation [civil rights act of 1964]". the americans with disabilities act paralleled its landmark predecessor structurally, drawing upon many of the same titles and statutes. for example, "title i of the ada, which bans employment discrimination by private employers on the basis of disability, parallels title vii of the act". similarly, title iii of the americans with disabilities act, "which proscribes discrimination on the basis of disability in public accommodations, tracks title ii of the 1964 act while expanding upon the list of public accommodations covered." the americans with disabilities act extended "the principle of nondiscrimination to people with disabilities", an idea unsought in the united states before the passage of the civil rights act of 1964. the act also influenced later civil rights legislation, such as the voting rights act of 1965 and the civil rights act of 1968, aiding not only african americans, but also women.
