when originally submitted to the states, nine ratifications would have made this amendment part of the constitution. that number rose to ten on may 29, 1790, when rhode island ratified the constitution. it rose to eleven on march 4, 1791, when vermont joined the union. by the end of 1791, the amendment was only one state short of adoption. however, when kentucky attained statehood on june 1, 1792, the number of necessary ratifications climbed to twelve, and, even though kentucky ratified the amendment that summer (along with the other eleven amendments), it was still one state short. no additional states ratified this amendment. with 50 states, 27 additional ratifications are necessary to reach the required threshold of 38 ratifications needed for this amendment to become part of the constitution.
congressional apportionment amendment
bullet::::- the equal rights amendment (proposed 1972) would have prohibited deprivation of equality of rights (discrimination) by the federal or state governments on account of sex. a seven-year ratification time limit was initially placed on the amendment, but as the deadline approached, congress granted a three-year extension. thirty-five states ratified the proposed amendment prior to the original deadline, three short of the number required for it to be implemented (five of them later voted to rescind their ratification). no further states ratified the amendment within the extended deadline, thus it failed to be adopted. on march 22, 2017, the 45th anniversary of congress' submission of the era to the nation's state lawmakers, the nevada legislature became the first to ratify the era after the expiration of both deadlines with its adoption of senate joint resolution no. 2 (designated as "pom-15" by the u.s. senate and published verbatim in the "congressional record" of april 5, 2017, at pages s2361 and s2362). the illinois general assembly ratified the era on may 30, 2018.
