The Mormon Church, also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was founded by Joseph Smith in 1830. Joseph Smith had prophetic visions that inspired led him to build a better society. Many of his beliefs angered a large number of people, such as the idea of communal or shared property and polygamy (the idea that a man can have multiple wives). Initially, Smith had formed a community in New York, but due to disapproval of the Mormon religion, the group was forced to move westward. The Mormons settled in Ohio, then onto Missouri and eventually Illinois. In Illinois, Joseph Smith was murdered by an angry mob and his leadership in the Mormon Church was taken over by Brigham Young in 1844.
After Smith's death, Brigham Young decided that the Mormons should move west to avoid further persecution and form the ideal community that Smith envisioned. In the 1830s and 1840s, America was expanding westward into Oregon Territory and Texas. Utah, however, was still largely unsettled because the terrain was considered harsh and unsuitable for farming. Young led the Mormons to settle around the Great Salt Lake in 1846. This migration was the single largest movement of people in American history. The Mormons made the area flourish with hard work and resilience, by building towns, irrigation systems, industries, and educational institutions.

Answer:
D. The Equal Rights Amendment

In “What It Would Be Like If Women Win,” from August 31, 1970, Steinem writes:
“In Women’s Lib Utopia, there will be free access to good jobs – and decent pay for the bad ones women have been performing all along, including housework. Increased skilled labor might lead to a four-hour workday, and higher wages would encourage further mechanization of repetitive jobs now kept alive by cheap labor. … Schools and universities will help to break down traditional sex roles, even when parents will not. Half the teachers will be men, a rarity now at preschool and elementary levels; girls will not necessarily serve cookies or boys hoist up the flag.”
At the time the article was written, the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) was holding a 51% majority in the political climate.
