Answer 1

Answer:

D) Civil Rights Act of 1991.

Explanation:

The Congress of the united states enacted the Civil Rights Act on November 21, 1991. It is a U.S. labor law enacted in response to U.S. Supreme Court rulings restricting the rights of workers who have sued their employers for discriminatory practices. This included the right to trial by jury on discrimination claims and added the possibility of damages from emotional distress and caps the amount of damages a jury may award.
