What was a major criticism of the Equal Rights Amendment?A) The ERA was a threat to traditional family life // B) The ERA would give women too...

Of the answers you offer us here, the best is A.  This was
the basis of all of the major complaints about the Equal Rights Amendment.  Some people
would argue that both B and C are true, but those issues were less important during the
debate over the ERA.  D is meant to confuse you because some people argued against the
ERA on the basis that it would cause women to be
drafted.


The major problem that conservatives had with the
ERA was that it would destroy the traditional American way of life.  They thought it
would do this by forcing women to be just like men in all ways.
