Which amendment gave women the right to vote?

• A. 19th Amendment
• B. 15th Amendment
• C. 17th Amendment
• D. 18th Amendment

Answer: (A)

Voting rights expanded over time through constitutional amendments, and this question asks you to identify the one that specifically enfranchised women. The amendment that guarantees women the right to vote prohibits denying the vote on the basis of sex, making suffrage nationwide for women. It was ratified in 1920 after decades of activism and state-level gains.

To place it in context, other amendments relate to different reforms: one extended voting rights regardless of race but did not address gender, another created the mechanism for directly electing U.S. Senators, and another banned the manufacture and sale of alcohol. So the amendment that directly ensures women can vote is the best answer because it targets gender-based voting rights and achieves women’s suffrage nationwide.
