Which amendment granted women the right to vote?

• A. Eighteenth Amendment (Prohibition)
• B. Nineteenth Amendment (Women's suffrage)
• C. Twentieth Amendment (Presidential succession)
• D. Twenty-First Amendment (Repeal Prohibition)

Answer: (B)

Voting rights for women is what this question is about. The amendment that guarantees that right is the Nineteenth Amendment, ratified in 1920. It states that the right to vote cannot be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex, explicitly protecting women’s suffrage nationwide. This change came after a long movement decades in the making, culminating in full voting eligibility for women across the country. The other amendments address different issues: one established Prohibition, another set the terms and succession for the presidency, and the last repealed Prohibition. So the one that directly secures women’s voting rights is the Nineteenth Amendment.
