...Examining Government Regulations The American Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed by Congress and signed into law by President George H. Bush on July 26, 1990 to protect the civil rights of disabled individuals in regards to their employment, public transportation, and access to public establishments (National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, 2012).

One of the regulations states that potential employers may not discriminate against an applicant based on a disability of a potential employee. This regulation is enforced by the U.S. Equal Employment Oppurtunity Commision. These regulations have significant impact on persons living with a disability.

There were a variety of factors that influenced divorce rates. The statistics below show the percentage of divorces that occurred out of the total number of marriages for a given year. Prior to 1867, divorce statistics were not recorded. While there certainly was a stigma attached to divorcing a spouse in the 1800s, divorce still happened on occasion. One factor that influenced divorce statistics at this time was the fact that women, outside of marriage, had very few economic opportunities. While the trend thus far in history had been for the divorce rate to increase, this isn't quite the case with the 30s. Due to the depression in the 20s, many couples stayed together...
