Why did people create unions during the late 1800s

The creation of labor unions were to call attention to the injustices happening inside unions such as low pay, long hours and poor work conditions. Many Americans thought that this was the most effective way to fight the unfairness or to end it completely.

Hope this helps! :)

b. the passage of the equal rights amendment  

explanation:

this mean that anything that someone else could do they could do

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
