Correct. The answer is a. Jones was still unable to access many courthouses in her home state of Tennessee years after the ADA passed because Tennessee, like many states, simply refused to enforce ADA law. Jones’s experience illustrates how, throughout American history, enforcement of laws can be as difficult (and as important) as getting the laws passed in the first place.

Correct. The answer is b. Courts began arguing in 2001 that since the Eleventh Amendment of the Constitution granted states sovereign immunity, which meant that the states could not be sued in a federal court, Congress’s right to force states to uphold federal laws may be severely limited. This was the argument Tennessee referred to in Tennessee v. Lane to argue that Congress had no right to force the state to uphold the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Correct. The answer is d. Tennessee challenged the constitutionality of the ADA by arguing that the law violated sovereign immunity and states’ rights. As the executive director of the Tennessee Disability Coalition pointed out, an argument rooted in states’ rights was exactly the same kind of argument that opponents of African American civil rights cited in the 1950s and 1960s.

Correct. The answer is c. The Supreme Court ruled in Tennessee v. Lane that states that did not have accessible courthouses could be sued for damages. Although the ruling applied nationwide, the ruling did not comment on any other kind of public space or facility other than courthouses, which limited its application.

Correct. The answer is b. Beverly Jones’s fight to force Tennessee to enforce the ADA lasted until 2004, and it still continues to this day. Jones’s story demonstrates how the civil rights struggle did not end in the 1960s, or the 1970s, or the 1990s. It continues, and it will likely continue for a very long time.
