The primary objective of The Civil Rights Act of 1991 was to provide increased financial damages and jury trials in cases of intentional discrimination. This was to strengthen the protections of The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and provide more effective remedies for victims of intentional discrimination. The Act did not add more protected groups, authorize the formation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or provide imprisonment as a penalty for job discrimination.
