Which Amendment gave women the right to vote?

• A. 23rd Amendment
• B. 24th Amendment
• C. 19th Amendment
• D. 15th Amendment

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is voting rights tied to gender. The amendment that guarantees women the right to vote prohibits denying that right based on sex, creating a nationwide protection for women voters. It was ratified in 1920 after a long suffrage movement, so women across the United States could vote, even though some states had allowed it earlier.

The other amendments address different issues: one extended the presidential vote to residents of Washington, D.C.; another bans poll taxes in elections; and another prohibits denying the vote based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. None of these establish voting rights specifically on the basis of being a woman, so they don’t fit the question as closely.
