Which amendment granted women the right to vote?

• A. 16th Amendment
• B. 19th Amendment
• C. 18th Amendment
• D. 21st Amendment

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is marking a turning point in who can participate in elections. The 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920, bans denying or abridging the right to vote on account of sex, guaranteeing women across the United States the right to vote. This came after decades of activism, marches, and state-level efforts that built pressure for national constitutional protection of suffrage, transforming democracy by widening participation.

The other amendments shown address different issues: one created a federal income tax, another established Prohibition, and a later amendment repealed Prohibition. They do not concern voting rights, which is why the 19th Amendment is the correct one for proving women could vote.
