The ERA meaning the<em> Equal Rights Amendments</em> was formulated by the woman party in 1923. this right proposed that <em>equality of right under the law shall not be abridged by the united states or any other state on the account of gender.</em>

The women group which succeeded in passing the amendment for proposal in the congress became the group which continued to to be a leading voice in pushing for the amendment .

<h3>Those who opposed the ratification</h3>

Conservative group

Religious group

These groups pushed against the ratification and was the major region of party against the ratification.

Phyllis Schlafly, a prominent leader of the conservative group opposed campaign against the ERA.

A key point she focused on was that:

Women would be subject to military draft and combat service in the same way as men.

This became the major reason why the amendment failed as there was to be a number of states that would be in support of the ratification.

COUNTER-REFORMATION

Allow me to add some detail about what the "Counter-Reformation" was. The Catholic Reformation or Counter-Reformation was an effort by the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century, intended to strengthen itself in response to the Protestant Reformation. The Counter-Reformation included a number of features, such as:

The formation of religious orders that aimed to build allegiance to Rome and the papacy, and to educate people in Catholic teaching. The Society of Jesus, known as the Jesuits for short, was a key order of this sort. The order was founded by Ignatius of Loyola in 1534, along with Francis Xavier and several others.
The Council of Trent served to reform some abuses that were acknowledged by the Catholic Church, but mostly to assert the full authority of Roman power and doctrine over the Protestant threat. The Council of Trent held meetings over a span of years from 1545 to 1563.
The Roman Inquisition was founded in 1542 to act as an investigative body in regard to threats to Rome's teachings. About a century later, Galileo would be one of the most famous persons tried by the Roman Inquisition.
