Is there any hope for the E.R.A. to pass when the deadline was in 1982?
A) Yes, because presidents have the power to ratify or veto an amendment.
B) Yes, because the deadline is reversible.
C) No, because some states have withdrawn their support for it.
D) No, because the deadline has passed.
The correct answer is B) Yes, because the deadline is reversible.
Explanation: While the original deadline for ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment (E.R.A.) was set for 1982, there have been legal arguments and discussions suggesting that deadlines for constitutional amendments can be extended or removed. Some advocates believe that this means there is still hope for the E.R.A. to be ratified, despite the passage of time.
