A. Sixteenth Amendment
B. Fifteenth Amendment
C. Thirteenth Amendment
D. Fourteenth Amendment

Answer 1

D. The fourteenth amendment

Answer 2

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fourteenth Amendment, is the right answer.

The opponents of the ERA argued that it would take away some of the rights of women (such as the right to maintenance in divorce proceedings and the right to have single-gender universities). The opponents feared that it would eliminate women's exemption from the plans and do away with regulations that granted special safeguard for women in the workforce. Moreover, many of them feared that this amendment would give enough powers to the federal courts to interfere with state laws.
