Question

Ledbetter v. goodyear tire and rubber co. (2007) was significant because it signaled that the court would no longer hear cases on sexual harassment. overturned significant portions of the violence against women act. ultimately led congress to pass a new law giving workers expanded rights to sue in cases where they learn of discriminatory treatment well after it has started. struck down title vii of the 1964 civil rights act as unconstitutional. ruled that state-sponsored schools must be open to both men and women.

Answer 1

The correct answer is ultimately led congress to pass a new law giving workers expanded rights to sue in cases where they learn of discriminatory treatment well after it has started

In the supreme court case, it was proven that she didn't have the right to act upon it because the time period for suing had long expired by the time she figured out what was happening. This motivated the congress to pass an act that protected women even after the 180 days period which was originally mentioned in the case.
