The Equal Rights Amendment was proposed in 1972. It said that equal rights under any federal, state, or local law could not be denied because of gender. To become part of the U.S. Constitution, the amendment had to be ratified by 38 states - that is, approved by a statewide vote - but only 35 states ratified it before the deadline, so the amendment did not become law.

What is an example of judicial activism?
The most recent example of judicial activism was the case of Perry v. Schwarzenegger, a 2010 decision by federal judge Vaughn R. Walker overturning California's constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. In spite of the voters' approval of such a ban on same-sex, Judge Walker overturned the amendment, primarily based on his interpretation that the Constitution implies a "right to privacy," and thereby nullifying the will of the California electorate. Judge Walker's decision is currently under appeal.
