Why did the Equal Rights Amendment FAIL to pass?

History
1 answer:
melisa1 [442]3 years ago
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.

Which backgrounds do voters tend to look for in a presidential candidate? Check all that apply.
barxatty [35]

Answer:

  • State Governor
  • Military General

Explanation:

Historically speaking, voters prefer a person with experience in the Executive branch of Government or a military background. This is why previous and sitting State Governors and men with military leadership experience have fared better in elections such as George Bush and Eisenhower.

There have been quite a number of presidents who had served in Congress at some point however only 3 Senators have been able to move from Congress to the White House. This is because voters prefer that they gain executive experience first like Truman and James Monroe did as Vice President and Secretary of State respectively.
