Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Equal Rights Amendment for women was passed through Congress in 1972, but failed to be ratified by the required number of states for it to become a constitutional amendment. It is important to note that the amendment proposal process involves passage by two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, followed by ratification by three-fourths of the states (38 out of 50). Therefore, option A is incorrect as it has made it through the congressional amendment proposal process. Option C is also inaccurate as the Equal Rights Amendment was not proposed as a part of the Bill of Rights. Option D is partially correct in that it was passed through Congress, but it ultimately failed to receive the necessary amount of state ratifications. Option E is also incorrect, as equal income alone does not guarantee complete gender equality in all areas of life.
