What are 2 key reasons that the Equal Rights Amendment might not have been ratified?

History

levacccp [35]3 years ago

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.

What are some possible explanations for the low MMR (Maternal Mortality Rate) of industrialized nations?
HACTEHA [7]
The greatest explanation for the overall low MMR (Maternal Mortality Rate) of industrialized nations is that these nations have higher GDPs--meaning that more money can be spend on things like healthcare and social "safety nets" for the poor.

Write a paragraph or two in which you note how Cornavirus and the Black Death are different and how they are similar.
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the mid-14th century, the Black Death killed up to 50% of Europe's population.

The current death toll from corona-virus-19 stands at more than 3,000 worldwide.

700 years after the Black Death, the spread of misinformation and xenophobia is markedly similar.

Although some media outlets have begun referring to the outbreak of the novel corona virus as a “modern plague”, the threat of corona virus remains negligible compared with historic outbreaks of plague. The latest World Health Organization report puts the corona virus death toll at just over 3,000 globally, whereas the Black Death was responsible for the deaths of an estimated 30-50% of Europe’s population in the mid-14th century. The most disturbing similarity between the two lies not in the diseases themselves but in their social consequences. Then, as now, outbreaks were blamed on certain ethnic groups.

As far as we know, the Black Death originated in or near China. It then followed pilgrimage routes throughout the Middle East, eventually entering Europe through trade routes from Italy. As with corona virus, plague outbreaks led to the enforced quarantine of infected households and the creation of specialist task forces that monitored and controlled contagion.
