Two key reasons:  Religious conservatives opposed the amendment, and many feared it would make women subject to mandatory military service.

<u>History/details:</u>

The Equal Rights Amendment, formulated as early as 1923 by the National Women's Party, proposed that "equality of rights under the law shall not be abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."  Feminist groups in the 1960s and 1970s, such as the National Organization for Women, finally succeeded in getting Congress to pass the amendment as a proposed addition to the US Constitution.  It was passed the US House of Representatives in 1972 and by the US Senate in 1972, and then sent to the states for ratification.  

The National Organization for Women continued to be a leading voice in pushing for ratification for the amendment.  However, conservative and religious groups campaigned against ratification.  Phyllis Schlafly was a prominent leader in the conservative opposition campaign against the ERA.  A key point Schlafly focused on was that women would then be subject to military draft and military combat service in the same way as men.  This became the key issue and the Equal Rights Amendment failed to achieve the necessary number of states supporting ratification.

1. After approval by Congress, it had a deadline for state ratification of seven years, and was considered a low priority amongst the turmoil of the 1970s.

<span>2. It was largely pointless. Every state already has some recognition of equal rights for the both sexes in its constitution or statutes, and a body of caselaw supporting the same. Many state legislatures were wary of ratifying an amendment that would expand federal power without really accomplishing anything.</span>

What were the biggest problems faced by the early Byzantine engineers, as the city of Constantinople began to grow?
Vinil7 [7]
<span>The biggest problem faced by the early Byzantine engineers was that the growth of the city far outpaced the growth in its resources, so water and food had to be brought from the outside.The city was also under constant threat of invasion by Germanic tribes to the north and east and needed to be heavily fortified, making moving resources into the city a bit more difficult.</span>
