Why did the Equal Rights Amendment FAIL to pass?

1 answer:

8 0

It failed because not enough states ratified the Amendment. 3/4 states were needed to ratify the Amendment in order for it to be passed. At the time, 35 states had ratified the Equal Rights Amendment. 3 more states were needed to pass the Equal Rights Amendment but no new ratifications were made by the other states, resulting in its failure. It also failed because of its vague wordiness, which caused many people to fear the possible unintended effects that would occur if the Amendment was passed.

Answer:

I believe that the SIMILARITIES between Egypt and the civilizations of Mesopotamia are:

Both civilizations born and thrive in the desert
Both used the rivers floods to supply their cities and allow agriculture.
Both civilizations were polytheists

In the case of DIFFERENCES, we can list the following:

While Egypt was a unified empire, in the civilizations of Mesopotamia we had a group of cities, independent and with their own government system, very similar to what happened in Greece.
When it comes rulers, in Egypt the Pharaoh was considered a god and was worshiped alike, while in Mesopotamia, despite the religious feature of their kings, they were not worshiped.
Despite their religious system was similar (both systems were polytheists), Egypt we had anthropomorphic deities while in Mesopotamia gods were humans.
