The 19th Amendment

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.

This amendment gave women the right to vote. I think its important because the united states is a democracy and after this amendment the right to vote is truly universal.

This is one of the more prominent posters during the time, and i think that it was completely right, women brought all the voters into the world and it was ridiculous that they couldn't vote.

I thought this was a very good photo because it shows how important this amendment was and how much it was supported.
