The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Fun Fact:
The amendment granted women the right to vote. This right was known as women suffrage. Female citizens in the United States did not share the same rights as men when the United States was first founded. Following the convention there was a demand to allow women to vote and became the centerpiece of the women's rights movement. It allowed women to share in the same rights as men.
Do you believe this amendment changed everything about the way our society thinks or should think?
Even though women now have the right to vote do you believe that they are still seen as equals in society or is there still a long road to be traveled until they see equality? What is and what inst equal for men vs women in America?
