Which of the following is not true about the Equal Rights Amendment?
  1. It was approved by Congress in 1972.
  2. It was intended to end inequality for women.
  3. It went into effect in 1982 after state ratification.
  4. It was created because the 19th amendment focused solely on voting rights.
  5. It was intended to be enforceable by Congress.
Explanation
Answer: C - The Equal Rights Amendment has never been ratified by the states and therefore has never gone into effect. Congress approved the Act in 1972, but it expired in 1982 after failing to be ratified by the states. The amendment was created to provide equal rights to women beyond the voting right afforded by the 19th amendment.
