Answer:

The Americans with Disabilities Act is a law enacted by the United States Congress in 1990. It was signed on July 26, 1990, by President George HW Bush, and then amended with changes and put into effect on January 1, 2009.  

ADA is a broad civil rights law that prohibits, in certain circumstances, discrimination based on disability. The law offers similar protection against discrimination to Americans with disabilities such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which legislates for discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin and other illegal characteristics. Disability is defined by ADA as "a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity." The determination of whether any condition is considered a disability is made on a case-by-case basis. Certain specific conditions are excluded as disabilities, such as substance abuse and visual impairment that can be corrected with prescription lenses.

Which action was not a precedent set by President George Washington? He served only two terms. He lived in the White House. He e
Georgia [21]

George Washington was elected unanimously twice as the first president of America. He helped define the future role and authority of the office. He understood well that it is necessary to revive executive power in the country. He believed that the precedents he had to make was necessary for the republic to function, but did not intend to implement a dictatorship or a monarchy. He appointed the Cabinet, and proposed the main laws to the Congress, with the intention of the Presidency to be powerful. He spent a lot of time doing government jobs, organizing meetings with the public in the afternoon, as well as dinner with invited guests.

He wanted to spend time on his property, especially under the pressure of obligations and merciless journalists, and thus made the president's withdrawal into his homes, under pressure from the public, acceptable. He retired after eight years and thus set the precedent that the president could only serve two mandates. It was later broken by Roosevelt.

The right answer is He lived in the White House.

How did the desire of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to unify Spain affect the Jews and Muslims who lived there?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Ferdinand of Aragon marries Isabella of Castile in Valladolid, thus beginning a cooperative reign that would unite all the dominions of Spain and elevate the nation to a dominant world power. Ferdinand and Isabella incorporated a number of independent Spanish dominions into their kingdom and in 1478 introduced the Spanish Inquisition, a powerful and brutal force of homogenization in Spanish society. In 1492, the reconquest of Granada from the Moors was completed, and the crown ordered all Spanish Jews to convert to Christianity or face expulsion from Spain. Four years later, Spanish Muslims were handed a similar order.
