Which amendment grants women the right to vote?

• A. The Nineteenth Amendment
• B. The Seventeenth Amendment
• C. The Twenty-Third Amendment
• D. The Twenty-Fourth Amendment

Answer: (A)

The Nineteenth Amendment is the correct answer because it specifically states that the right to vote cannot be denied or abridged on the basis of sex. Ratified in 1920, this amendment marked a significant milestone in the women’s suffrage movement, ensuring that women could participate equally in the electoral process alongside men.

The other amendments listed do not pertain to women's voting rights. The Seventeenth Amendment deals with the direct election of U.S. Senators, the Twenty-Third Amendment grants electoral votes to the District of Columbia, and the Twenty-Fourth Amendment prohibits poll taxes in federal elections, none of which address the right to vote specifically for women.
