What is the equal rights amendment

The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution aimed at guaranteeing equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex.

The ERA was first introduced in Congress in 1923 and later passed by Congress in 1972. The proposed amendment 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."

For an amendment to become part of the Constitution, it needs ratification by three-fourths (38 out of 50) of the states.
