The Equal Rights Amendment

All are not equal under the constitution. The ERA never passed. The resources here will give you some idea of the misconceptions of what the ERA would change if ratified, the events for and against the amendment and much more! 

The Equal Rights Amendment (exact words):

Section 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by 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.
