Final answer:

The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution introduced by Alice Paul in 1923, passed by Congress in 1972 but failed to be ratified by enough states before expiring in 1982.


Explanation:

The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution introduced by Alice Paul in 1923.

In 1972, the ERA passed Congress, stating that "equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex."

Despite passing Congress, it fell short of the required number of state ratifications and ultimately expired in 1982 without becoming part of the Constitution.
