Before New York was possessed by the English, it was controlled by the Dutch. Under Dutch rule, this territory was actually called New Amsterdam. 
Dutch Governor Peter Stuyvesant abdicates New Amsterdam, the capital of New Netherland, to an English naval squadron under Colonel Richard Nicolls. Dutch Stuyvesant hoped to resist English, but then he lacked manpower and his subordinates refused to support him. Following its acquisition, New Amsterdam’s name was changed to New York<span>, in honor of the Duke of York, who organized the mission.</span>

The correct answer is C. Congress amended it to broaden the protection it offered.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 was a law enacted by the Congress of the United States Republic to establish parameters that prohibited discrimination against disabled people. However, this law must be amended because the courts where this law had to be interpreted, do it erroneously and the rights of disabled people who were looking for a job were affected and were discriminated against for their condition.

MissTica

Explanation:

The Homo habilis was a species of hominid that preceded the Homo Sapiens (modern humans); this specie originated around 2.3 million years ago and lived in groups. Besides this, the Homo habilis was one of the first species to create tools using stone; indeed, it was found Homo habilis selected and cut stones to use these to cut meat or even plants. This important technological advance occurred during the Old Stone Age or Early Stone Age, which refers to the first period in which hominids created stones that occurred between 2.6 million years ago and 10,000 years ago. Thus, the Homo habilis first began using tools in the Old Stone Age.
