The answer is <u>popular sovereignty.</u>

In overall, when both the Senate and the House of the U.S. Congress officially proposes an amendment by at least two thirds of votes, it later has to be voted on by the state legislatures or national conventions (called by the states legislatures). Only if the amendment is approved by at least 75% of the state legislatures, it becomes a law.

When state legislatures vote for or against a constitutional amendment, the popular sovereignty is being exercised as for this political doctrine holds that all political power (authorities of states and federal government) is created and sustained by the consent of its people, through their elected representatives (In this case, state senators).

Thoroughly western in orientation, women enjoyed significant freedoms in terms of their mobility in public life. The Shah's repression of dissidents led to dissatisfaction among students and the religious right. The last Shah of Iran was forced to resign and leave the country. The  Khomeni government represented the ascendancy of the religious rights. Iran became a theocracy and women were increasingly relegated to the margins. They were forced to adhere to religious doctrine, and wear the hijab (Islamic head covering)
