Answer 2

The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) didn't fail on a specific date.

On March 22, 1972, The ERA was approved by the full Senate without changes — 84-8. Senator Sam Ervin and Representative Emanuel Celler succeeded in setting an arbitrary time limit of seven years for ratification.

It was not ratified by the necessary thirty-eight states by the July 1982 deadline. It was ratified by thirty-five states.

Equal Rights Amendment was written in 1921 by Alice Paul.

Section 1. Equality of Rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex.

Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Section 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.

Answer 3

1982

Answer 4

I would say mainly because it is a mute point. There are already laws in place to outlaw discremination of people based upon sex, race, national origin, etc.

But for other reasons, when it came up again, what 20 years ago, a lot of women (and men too) were afraid that because of the amdendment their daughters could be drafted. Also, there was this fear of uni-sex restrooms.
