The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is one of the post-Civil War amendments, and includes, among others, the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause. It was proposed on June 13, 1866, and ratified on July 9, 1868.

The amendment provides a broad definition of national citizenship, which overrides the decision of Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), who had excluded slaves and their descendants, from possessing constitutional rights. It requires states to provide equal protection before the law to all persons (not just citizens) within their jurisdictions. The importance of the Fourteenth Amendment was exemplified in the 1950s when it was interpreted to prohibit racial segregation in public schools in the case Brown v. Board of Education.

xxMikexx [17]

Although the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) had strong popular support when it passed both the House and the Senate in 1972, it failed to become a constitutional amendment because the feminist movement had made so many gains in eliminating gender discrimination.

<h3></h3><h3>Failure of Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)</h3>
  • The feminist movement had achieved so much in the fight against sexism in areas like employment and education that it did not necessarily seem necessary for the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to pass both the House and the Senate in 1972, despite the fact that it had strong public support at the time. As a result, the ERA did not become a constitutional amendment.
  • The Equal Rights Amendment ultimately failed to be ratified by the required 38, or three-fourths, of the states by the deadline set by Congress because of a conservative backlash against feminism.
  • Because a state's legislature must pass it through both houses in the same session in order for it to be considered ratified, it failed in those states.
