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>

The Great Schism was between the Roman Catholic Church and the Greek Orthodox Church.

The Great Schism refers to a conflictive religious event that occurred in 1054. In this conflict there was a mutual rupture and excommunication between the highest hierarch of the Catholic Church in Rome, the Pope or Bishop of Rome (together with the Christianity of Occident), and the ecclesiastical hierarchies of the Orthodox Church (together with the Christianity of the East) especially the principal of them, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.

Who were bonnie and clyde and how did their actions affect the midwestern united states during the early 1930s?
Montano1993 [528]
Bonnie Parker was born on October 1, 1910, in Rowena, Texas. After meeting Clyde Barrow in 1930, Parker eventually entered a world of crime. Robbing banks and small businesses with her partner and affiliated gang, she became one of America's most infamous outlaws of the '30s. Their almost two-year crime spree spanned several states, with the gang responsible for the murder of several people that included law enforcement officials.

Bonnie and Clyde had many immediate effects and several long term effects on society. One of the biggest short-term effects was the loss families had after Bonnie or Clyde killed someone. One long-term effect was the fictionalized ideas of what Bonnie and Clyde were.

There were many short term effects that Bonnie and Clyde had on the society around them. The biggest short-term effect was the loss families had to deal with after Bonnie and Clyde had Killed one of their family members. Another short-term effect was obviously the change in the police officers lives that were after them, especially retired Texas Ranger Frank Hamer, who was specially brought in to take down Bonnie and Clyde.

While the long-term effects made by Bonnie and Clyde were not as significant to their immediate effects, they are still a large part of society today. One of the long-term effects created by these two was the fictionalized ideas of what the couple was. Even though they were bank robbers they never really had a lot of money and they often camped out and were constantly on the run. Another long-term effect that Bonnie and Clyde had on society is their reputation. When anyone thinks of classic bank robbers, two that instantly comes to mind are Bonnie and Clyde.
