Introduction This essay will explore the reasons why the anti-Equal Rights Amendment of the 1970s was successful in keeping the proposed amendment from being added to the Constitution. It starts with a discussion of the process in congress and what it took for the amendment to even reach the states for a vote, and the exact literature of the amendment.

An important clue was the diary of President Truman. The following is an excerpt from his diary concerning the use of the atomic bomb: "Even if the Japs are savages, ruthless, merciless and fanatic, we as the leader of the world for the common welfare cannot drop that terrible bomb on the old capital or the new."

Although the only “evidence” for these accusations was a confession from Julius Rosenberg’s brother-in-law, David Greenglass, the two of them were given the death penalty.
