Reread this section from Sara's rough draft about the history of the ERA. If the ERA wants to become part of the Constitution, it will have to get past the opposition
this time. Who fought against the ERA, and will they still try to stop it? One argument was
that a constitutional amendment would take away protections that women already have.
The National Committee to Defeat the Un-Equal Rights Amendment created a pamphlet
that stated "the differences in treatment of men and women under state laws are for the
benefit of the family, while others are advantageous to working women."
Which sentence did Sara change MOST when creating her final draft? (Which sentence
most needs revising?)
