19th Amendment: Questions And Answers

19th Amendment:

What I liked is that on August 18, 1920, women were allowed to vote. I liked that because I think that women not allowed to vote is super stupid. I also liked Harry T. Burn’s decision. I liked his decision because he probably so pressured by both sides. He made the right decision though.
What I learned from the passage is that Harry T. Burn is the reason women are allowed to vote. I also learned that women were allowed to vote on August 18, 1920. I didn’t know what the 19th amendment was until I read the passage. I also learned about the American Woman Suffrage Association. (AWSA)
How I will apply what I learned is by using them in the future for history tests. I don’t even know if they have it in a certain test. I will also

    The Constitution was initially subjected to the scrutiny of Anti-federalists, who believed that the document would not adequately protect the rights of those living under it (Siemers). These fears have partially been invalidated over time, as many revisions have been made in order to ensure the preservation of interests of minorities. It is imperative to recognize that these changes occurred gradually; they were not originally included in the document (Constitutional Amendment Process). Therefore, the Constitution did not succeed right away in this mission, but has done so over time through the 19th, 15th, and 14th amendments and court cases including Obergefell v. Hodges. Ratified in 1920, the 19th amendment was a progressive…

    If women aren’t allowed to vote, they lose control over their domestic responsibilities as well and the high-class society begins to slip away (Document 5). The idea that social and political roles of women were very much connected allowed for a steady argument in favor of women’s suffrage. Allowing women to vote would also allow for new ideas and could open new doors for the government and begin a change for the better (Document 9). People also believed that allowing women to vote would be the political step that could help to tear down social…

    Documents B,C,F reflect the opposition for women to be able to have the right to vote rooted in popular notions that women, despite their efforts could not change the social and political landscape of government, an immediate reversal in gender roles within the household, and that women were better off having men have complete control over the government for women's best interest in society on men’s behalf. Many believed in the idea that women were suitable for staying at home and were not well trained in their occupations, in addition to, believing that suffrage was simply not enough to change the important issues at that time. In (Doc. B) Gilbert Jones addresses women suffrage stating that even though women have received the right to vote in certain western territories of the U.S. no social reform has not occurred, so despite suffragists efforts of giving women the chance to vote it ultimately did not have much of an impact within changing laws. She states that women pay taxes despite not voting and women are not well trained enough in their occupation . From a more conservative sense she wants women to focus more on becoming more skilled in their traditional jobs by learning essential economic skills.…

    Based off the reading, Addams had a desire to make change in the world by the way people treated one another (Reconstruction, Chapter 20, Section III, www.americanawp.com). This trait shows that Addams had a desire for women to have the same right men have in the area of voting. Throughout the document, she stated things that women faced, such as the scarlet fever that spread in the spring of Chicago to their children in the schools, the cow milk that made their babies sick, girls working in factories and shops, and so forth to make a claim that if women had a right to vote many of these issues would resolve (Modern History Sourcebook: Jane Addams, “Why women should vote, 1915”). In addition, she points out a few women that responded to the things that were going on during this time period that needed enforcement (Modern History Sourcebook: Jane Addams, “Why women should vote, 1915”). Based off the reading, many women and men pushed for women to have the right to vote to help “clean up politics and social evils” (Reconstruction, Chapter 20, Section III, www.americanawp.com).…
