Which amendment granted women the right to vote?

• A. Amendment 19
• B. Amendment 13
• C. Amendment 20
• D. Amendment 25

Answer: (A)

The key idea is how voting rights were expanded through constitutional amendments, specifically the one that protects the right to vote regardless of sex. The Nineteenth Amendment, ratified in 1920, prohibits denying the right to vote on account of sex, granting women nationwide suffrage. This was the culmination of a long suffrage movement and changed the electorate in both federal and state elections.

The other amendments listed address different issues: one ended slavery, another sets the dates for when the President and Congress begin their terms, and another covers presidential succession and disability. None of these establish or guarantee women’s right to vote, so they don’t fit the question.
