The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was primarily modeled on the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The ADA aimed to prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities in various areas, such as employment, public accommodations, transportation, and telecommunications. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 served as a major inspiration for the ADA because it addressed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. While the other cases listed were important landmarks in promoting civil rights, they did not directly serve as the main models for the Americans with Disabilities Act.
