Answer:

Option D. The Equal Rights Amendment of 1972 to expand the civil rights of women was unsuccessful because not enough states ratified the amendment before the deadline expired in 1982.

Explanation:

The Equal Rights Amendment was approved by the U.S Senate on March 22nd, 1972 and was then sent to the states legislatures for ratification. The Amendment written by Alice Paul and Crystal Eastman was designed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of their sex.

Congress originally set the deadline for the ratification for the 22nd of March of 1979, and during 1977 the amendment received the ratification from 35 States out of the 38 necessary for it to pass. But then a conservative backlash against the feminist movement that pushed for the amendment state to gain power and even with Congress setting a new deadline for the 30th of June, 1982, five States legislatures voted to revoke their previous ratifications and the amendment ultimately failed to receive the ratification.

Was congressional reconstruction more about racial equality or political power?
inna [77]

It could be argued that Congressional Reconstruction was more about political power than racial equality. Even though Congressional Reconstruction is going to help African-Americans gain new freedoms in American society, it is ultimately based on the Northern Republicans desire for political power. Many members of the Republican Party, known as Radical Republicans, wanted to punish the South for their role in starting the Civil War. In this case, the Radical Republicans wanted to ensure that after this war, the individuals who lead the secession movement in the Southern states would not gain power. This is why many Republicans refused to include newly elected Southerners in Congressional affairs during the Reconstruction period.
