How did Phyllis Schlafly and her supporters invoke the principle of freedom in the battle over the ERA?

History

IrinaK [193]3 years ago
8 0
When feminist groups in the 1960s and 1970s pushed for Congress to propose the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), conservatives such as Phyllis Schlafly opposed it as something that would harm women rather than help them, that would infringe on their rights and freedoms rather than grant them greater freedom.   The ERA stated that "equality of rights under the law shall not be abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."  A key point Schlafly focused on was that this would force women to be subject to military draft and military combat service in the same way as men.  This became the key issue regarding the defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment.  House of Representatives gave its approval to the ERA in 1970; the Senate did so in 1972.   But the amendment failed to achieve ratification by the states, due to the influence of the movement led by Schlafly.

3 reasons why Louis Riel is a HERO?
rjkz [21]
1) Louis Riel assembled a revolution of people by himself. Basically by himself, he was able to become the leader of the Metis's government. He captured many fortifications, and got much of the land back. Riel also demanded many things for his people to be safe. 

2) Louis Riel supported and wanted to help his people all he could. You could say that he died to protect them. He spent most of his life fighting for their rights. Forming the National Committee of the Metis (protecting their land), and forming the Metis Bill of Rights (protecting themselves).

3) Once the Government of Canada delayed the approval of the Bill of Rights, this is when Riel formed a provisional government. The Government of Canada say this as a revolution, so many people tried to attack Riel. Him and his people rebelled again the government just to get approval of their rights.
