Nineteenth Amendment

"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."

"Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

This was a big change in American politics and the Constitution because it was the first time women could vote in the elections. This meant that now everybody was allowed to vote in the United States.

In the first image we can see a group of women protesting agains President Wilson and not allowing them to vote. In the second one we can see women voting in New York in 1920 in one of the first elections they were able to vote.
