Question 40 • EA Academy Civics 9

Which group gained the right to vote with the passage of the 19th Amendment?

Answer
A
women
B
noncitizens
C
African American men
D
young people 18 and older

Explanation

The 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920, prohibited denying the right to vote on the basis of sex. It therefore expanded voting rights to women. African American men gained constitutional voting protections through the 15th Amendment, while the voting age was lowered to 18 by the 26th Amendment.
