The proposed amendment to the Constitution that would have made men and women 100 percent equal in the eyes of the law was known as the Equal Rights Amendment.

Explanation:

The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was a proposed constitutional amendment designed to give equal rights to women in the United States. The ERA was written by Alice Paul and submitted for the first time in Congress in 1923, three years after the inclusion of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. The ERA states that "Men and women should have equal rights in the United States and wherever US law applies."

Until the 1970s, the ERA was rejected both in the Senate and in the House of Representatives. In March 1972, both Congress Chambers approved the addition. However, ratification by at least three-quarters of the states, at that time 38, was still pending. The original ratification period was set at March 22nd, 1979. By 1977, 35 of the required 38 states had ratified the constitution. The ratification period was extended until June 30, 1982, but no other state approved the ERA. Thus, in 1982 the deadline for ratification expired, so it was not adopted and is not part of the Constitution.
