Answer:

The country’s legal system should protect the rights of women.

Explanation:

Shirley Anita St. Hill Chisholm was the first woman of African-American origin to be elected to Congress in 1968. She was a promoter of the rights of women and civil liberties. On August 10, 1970, she gave the speech in the House of Representatives entitled "For the Equal Rights Amendment." She doubted the immediate effect of the legal framework to end sex discrimination in society. And stressed that laws should aim to discourage it because it does not cover those who are biased on a sex basis.

Answer:Before the Constitution....there was The Articles of Confederation — in effect, the first constitution of the United States. Drafted in 1777 by the same Continental Congress that passed the Declaration of Independence, the articles established a "firm league of friendship" between and among the 13 states.  

Created during the throes of the Revolutionary War, the Articles reflect the wariness by the states of a strong central government. Afraid that their individual needs would be ignored by a national government with too much power, and the abuses that often result from such power, the Articles purposely established a "constitution" that vested the largest share of power to the individual states.  

Under the Articles each of the states retained their "sovereignty, freedom and independence." Instead of setting up executive and judicial branches of government, there was a committee of delegates composed of representatives from each state. These individuals comprised the Congress, a national legislature called for by the Articles.  

The Congress was responsible for conducting foreign affairs, declaring war or peace, maintaining an army and navy and a variety of other lesser functions. But the Articles denied Congress the power to collect taxes, regulate interstate commerce and enforce laws.  

Eventually, these shortcomings would lead to the adoption of the U.S. Constitution. But during those years in which the 13 states were struggling to achieve their independent status, the Articles of Confederation stood them in good stead.
