The most important question at the heart of the Cold War is Who would emerge as he ultimate super-power- United States or the Soviet Union.
<u>Explanation:</u>
At the end of World War II with the split of Germany and political upheaval in Europe, Europe no longer remained a power in the world leaving only United States and Soviet Union or the USSR. These two bloc or super powers then indulged in a cold war to show their powers and try to emerge as the only super power.
The countries were different in their political outlook as well as ideologies and tried to prove their supremacy. USA and USSR were never involved in a direct conflict but supported proxy wars between other countries thereby showing their power and support. However with the disintegration of Soviet Union in 1991, United States emerged as the only super power.

As someone who was too young at the time to fully appreciate the complexities of the political process at the time, I never understood why the Equal Rights Amendment was never passed. On the one hand, it seems a no-brainer, a basic statement of obvious human rights. However, trying to research online the reasons why it wasn't passed produces a whole bunch of feminist fruitcakery, including some who insist the amendment technically passed and is in effect. The original support for the amendment was among conservative women, while labor unions and "New Deal" types virulently opposed it an exact flip flop of the typical cliches and stereotypes of the political left and right.
My idle speculation is that the trouble stems from the second clause of the amendment as proposed: "The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article." That seems, in an era when people are arguing the constitutionality of mandating health insurance coverage, a loophole big enough through which to ram all sorts of trouble.
