To determine what made the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) historic, let's analyze each option: (A) It was the world's first comprehensive declaration of equality for people with disabilities. - This statement is true. The ADA was groundbreaking as it provided a comprehensive framework for the civil rights of individuals with disabilities, ensuring their equal access to public spaces, employment, and services. (B) It was based on an innovative law that secured civil rights for disabled people in Sweden. - This statement is misleading. While other countries may have had laws regarding disability rights, the ADA was primarily a U.S. initiative and not directly based on Swedish law. (C) It was signed by a president who had incurred a disability during his service in World War II. - This statement is partially true, as President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had a disability, was a significant figure in disability rights history. However, the ADA was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush in 1990, who did not have a disability. (D) It was the first law on civil rights enacted by Congress in a unanimous vote. - This statement is not accurate. While the ADA received strong bipartisan support, it was not enacted by a unanimous vote. Based on this analysis, the most accurate and significant reason that made the ADA historic is: **(A) It was the world's first comprehensive declaration of equality for people with disabilities.**
