Answer 1

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides for both compensatory and punitive damages in discrimination lawsuits.

Step-by-step explanation:

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 provides for both compensatory and punitive damages in discrimination lawsuits. It prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. If a person is a victim of discrimination, they can file a lawsuit under Title VII to seek compensatory damages for any harm they suffered as a result of the discrimination, as well as punitive damages to punish the employer for their actions.
