Create a time line of the Equal Rights Amendment, beginning with its proposal in 1972 and ending
with its failure to be ratified ten years later. List the number of
States that voted to ratify it each year and include the three-
year extension to the time limit passed in 1979. Compare this
time line to the table on page 76. What does your time line

year time limit was fair? Explain your answer
