what significant civil rights legislation did the federal government pass in 1990
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 âwhich has been called the most important piece of federal legislation since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 âwas influenced both by the structure and substance of the previous Civil Rights Act of 1964.fter the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, the Supreme Court upheld the law's application to the private sector, on the grounds that Congress has the power to regulate commerce between the States.
