Question 6 • 670401 American Studies S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

Which statement best describes the main idea of "For the Equal Rights Amendment” by Representative Shirley Chisholm?

Answer
A
Women are not appreciated for their contributions to society.
B
No law can erase the prejudice that exists in people’s minds.
C
The country’s legal system should protect the rights of women.
D
The passage of one amendment will not be able to make a difference.

Explanation

Chisholm argues that women should have equal rights under the law and that the Constitution should protect those rights. The main idea is therefore that the country’s legal system should protect the rights of women. Although changing laws cannot instantly end prejudice, that does not mean an amendment would make no difference.
