Amendment 19

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.


Amendment 19 game women the right to vote. The United States took along time for this one. They made 18 amendments before they thought, "hey, aren't we forgetting about someone?" It is a shame that it women's rights took so long to be recognized. Women are still looked down upon by some and averagely make %70 of what men do in the work force.



Just a clip of how some people don't know what suffrage is. It's pretty funny.

  1. Great idea of using the stamp as one of your media. The 19th Amendment was passed 50 years later after 15th Amendment that granted African American male the right to vote. I think still today, not only women but other minorities group are still struggling for civil rights.
