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.

The 14th Amendment allows state and local governments to act in an unfair manner is False.

Explanation:

The 14th Amendment Prohibits state and local governments from acting in an unfair manner. The fifth Amendment precludes the national government from acting in an uncalled for way. The Supreme Court has broadened the assurances of the Bill of Rights, in light of the fair treatment provison.

In spite of the fact that the content of the Fourteenth Amendment applies the Equal Protection Clause just against the states, the Supreme Court, since Bolling v. Sharpe (1954), has applied the Clause against the government through the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment under a precept called "switch consolidation". The Constitution of the United States of America is the preeminent tradition that must be adhered to State laws in the Virginia and United States constitutions.
