Nineteenth Amendment

Ratified August 18, 1920

The nineteenth amendment states...
      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.


What it means to me...
      This amendment gave women the right to vote. It guaranteed that anyone could vote at this point in time, no matter color of skin, gender, or any other factors. Congress now had the authority to enforce this amendment through legislation.
