Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Equal Rights Amendment was a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution that aimed to eliminate gender discrimination. The amendment was never ratified, despite being introduced in Congress in 1923 and passing both the House of Representatives and the Senate in 1972. The amendment failed to be ratified by the necessary 38 states before a deadline in 1982. The other options (A, B, and D) do not refer specifically to an amendment to eliminate gender discrimination.
