Why di the era amendment become part of the constutiojn?
The ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) intended to prohibit all discrimination based on sex but it failed to win ratification. The Equal Rights Amendment was reintroduced in Congress on July 14, 1982 and has been before every session of Congress since that time. In the 110th Congress (2007-2008), it was introduced as S.J. Resolution. 10 (lead sponsor: Sen. Edward Kennedy, MA) and H.J. Res. 40 (lead sponsor: Rep. Carolyn Maloney, NY). These bills impose no deadline on the ERA ratification process. Success in putting the ERA into the Constitution via this process would require passage by a two-thirds in each house of Congress and ratification by 38 states. There were many reasons why this amendment failed, after sailing through the Congress. One of the major critics of the amendment were women themselves, who felt it was not necessary and would actually hurt the women's rights movement. There was also concern that the amendment would mean women could be drafted into the armed services, including combat duty. There was also concern that passage would effect the laws that protected women in the workforce.

What is required for a bill in Congress to become law?
A bill must be passed by both chambers of Congress to become law. If vetoed by the President, it must be re-passed with a 2/3 majority to override that veto. How a bill becomes a LawA bill is first introduced in either chamber of the US Congress (House or Senate). The bill must pass in that chamber before it is sent to the other chamber, usually by simple majority of the members present although delaying tactics, filibusters, or procedural devices may require a 60% or greater vote to get the bill passed. Once the bill arrives at the other chamber, that chamber considers and votes on the bill as well. If the second chamber modifies the bill before passing it, appointed members from each of the the two chambers must get together in a Conference Committee, to work out the differences and agree on a compromise resolution. The compromise resolution is then reconsidered in both chambers and voted on again. If the compromise bill is passed by both chambers, it is sent to the President for his signature. If the President signs the bill, or does not sign it within 10 days while the Congress is in session, the bill becomes law. If the President does not sign the bill within 10 days and the Congress has adjourned, the bill does not become law (a "pocket veto"). If the President vetoes the bill within 10 days, the bill goes back to the two chambers the Congress. If each of the two chambers can vote by at least two-thirds majority to override the President's veto, then the bill becomes law, despite his attempted veto.The passage of Amendments to the Constitution follow a different set of rules.

Why are the human heart chambers not the same size?
The two lower chambers of the heart are larger than the two upper chambers because they must generate the pumping force to move blood through the circulatory system. The left ventricle is larger than the right, reflecting the longer length of the systemic circuit.
