Americans With Disabilities Act: History and Court Cases

            The initial question is a straightforward assessment of the history of the ADA and the ensuing legal precedence that has been set since its adoption. It will discuss in detail the impetuous of its passage including several political issues that led to its adoption as well as the legal issues that resulted in its conception and development.

It has also changed the people with disabilities live their lives, and are employed in many good ways. All this will be discussed in this section.
             Lastly the work will express an opinion about the progress that the ADA has created or not created in the overall goal of creating an inclusive environment of respect for individuals with disabilities. The answer to this question may seem surprising but in truth the answer is no, abuses still occur regularly and the ADA has not done as much as it was hoped it would do for people with disabilities and this demands redress beyond the precedence setting decisions that are sadly stepping toward reducing its effectiveness rather than increasing it.
