Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:
Textbook: Chapter 15, 16
Lesson: Read this Week’s Lesson which is located in the
Modules tab.
Initial Post: minimum of 2 scholarly sources (must include
your textbook for one of the sources). Follow-Up Post: minimum of 1 scholarly
source for your Follow-Up Post.
Your Initial Post and your Follow-Up Post must be based on
the same Option that you chose in order to receive credit for both posts.
Initial Post Instructions
For the initial post, respond to one of the following
options, and label the beginning of your post indicating either Option 1 or
Option 2:
Option 1: The Equal Rights Amendment was first proposed
almost a century ago and has still not been added to the United States
Constitution. It is supposed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American
citizens regardless of sex. It was first introduced to Congress by Alice Paul,
leader of women’s suffrage movement in 1923. Compare/contrast the Equal Rights
Amendment with the Fourteenth Amendment. Did they deal with separate concepts?
Explain your answer.
Option 2: The Bill of Rights is not only included with the
United States Constitution but also state constitutions. All states have provisions
in their constitutions that protect individual rights. Go online and look up
your state constitution concerning amendments that are included in the Bill of
Rights. How does your state constitution protect your individual rights?
Be sure to make connections between your ideas and
conclusions and the research, concepts, terms, and theory we are discussing
this week.
