Extending Voting Rights

Question 2 • 670401 American Studies S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

Which statement best represents a result of the Nineteenth Amendment?

Answer
A
Women may vote only if they pay a poll tax.
B
Women have been elected to government offices.
C
Women may vote, but are not eligible to run for public office.
D
Women can run for office, but cannot actually be elected.

Explanation

The Nineteenth Amendment, ratified in 1920, prohibited denying the right to vote on the basis of sex. Women gained the right to vote and could also seek and win public office, so the statement that women have been elected to government offices is correct. The amendment did not make voting conditional on paying a poll tax or bar women from running for office.
