To find the answer to this question, you can start by looking up the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and its ratification process.
The ERA was a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution that sought to guarantee equal rights under the law regardless of sex. It was first introduced in Congress in 1923 and eventually passed by Congress in 1972. However, for an amendment to become part of the Constitution, it needs to be ratified by three-fourths of the states.
To determine which states did not ratify the ERA, you can search for a list of states that ratified or did not ratify the amendment. A quick search will provide you with the following information:
- By the deadline of June 30, 1982, 35 states had ratified the ERA, but 38 states were required for it to become part of the Constitution.
- The majority of the states that did not ratify the ERA were indeed located in the Midwest.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. Midwest.
