In Washington, D.C., the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, providing for female suffrage, is unanimously declared constitutional by the eight members of the U.S. Supreme Court. The 19th Amendment, which stated that “the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of sex,” was the product of over seven decades of meetings, petitions, and protests by women suffragists and their supporters.
In 1916, the Democratic and Republican parties endorsed female enfranchisement, and on June 4, 1919, the 19th Amendment was passed by Congress and sent to the states for ratification. On August 18, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment, achieving the required three-fourths majority of state ratification, and on August 26 the 19th Amendment officially took effect.
Biggest mistake our country has ever made, it’s all been downhill since.
AMEN
My 8th grade teacher referred to the 19th as the “Great Mistake.”
The thin edge of the wedge was the 15th amendment which proclaimed that voting is a right. The very idea is nonsense, because it puts voting on the same plain as keeping and bearing arms, speaking freely against government, ownership of property, and every other right.
There is no right to vote. Voting is a privilege of citizenship and may be restricted to citizens only. It may be regulated in different ways from state to state. If there exists a right to vote, then anyone from anywhere may cast a vote simply by being in a state where an election is taking place.
Thank the republicans for installing this nonsense to the US Constitution. It’s one of four amendments that failed ratification and was enacted anyway, the 14th through 17th amendments..
To we anarchists it was just another gang of suckers who think the ruling elite give a shit about the opinions of rabble.
We need to change the vote to one per household.
One per working household, taxpayer supported ones excluded.
The beginning of the end for the Republic.
Did Women’s Suffrage Change the Size and Scope of Government …
