Which amendment granted women the right to vote?

• A. 19th Amendment
• B. 18th Amendment
• C. 26th Amendment
• D. 15th Amendment

Answer: (A)

This question tests when women gained the right to vote in the United States. The correct choice is the 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920, which prohibits denying the right to vote on account of sex. This change came after a long suffrage movement and ensured women could participate in elections nationwide. Before this amendment, voting rights varied by state and many women fought for suffrage through protests, petitions, and organizing.

Other amendments mentioned address different issues: one established Prohibition, banning alcohol nationwide; another lowered the voting age to 18; and another extended voting rights to Black men but did not address gender.
