ERA title
The ERA title, or Equal Rights Amendment title, refers to a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution aimed at guaranteeing equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. The amendment was first introduced in Congress in 1923 and seeks to eliminate discrimination based on gender, ensuring that rights are not denied or abridged on account of sex.
The ERA gained significant attention during the 1970s, when it was passed by Congress and sent to the states for ratification. Although it initially garnered widespread support, the amendment ultimately fell short of the required number of state approvals by the 1982 deadline, leading to ongoing debates about its relevance and potential revival in contemporary discussions on gender equality.
