The act that extended antidiscrimination protection to business establishments is the?

  1. Unruh Civil Rights Act

  2. Fair Housing Act

  3. Civil Rights Act

  4. Americans with Disabilities Act

The correct answer is: Unruh Civil Rights Act

The Unruh Civil Rights Act extended antidiscrimination protection to business establishments in California, specifically prohibiting discriminatory practices based on characteristics of individuals such as race, sex, religion, and sexual orientation. The other options, Fair Housing Act, Civil Rights Act, and Americans with Disabilities Act, are federal laws that address discrimination in different areas housing, general civil rights, and disabilities, respectively. While these laws also provide important protections, they do not specifically apply to business establishments in the same way that the Unruh Civil Rights Act does in California. This highlights the importance of understanding and following different laws that pertain to a specific geographic area.
