The ERA's first section states "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." It was intended to place into law the equality of men and women. It was sent to the states in March, 1972. The original seven year deadline was extended to ten years. It expired unratified in 1982.

The text:

Section 1. Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Section 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.
so are you proposing, say, an armed revolution?

but seriously, the supreme court ruled that black people werent human at a time. so that shows how great they are at ruling between the lines. if the whole idea is to follow every law by the letter, then what about the laws written by the corrupt?
