White entertainers often performed in "blackface" instead of allowing African-Americans on stage. Women were not accepted in most professions. Neither group was allowed to step into a voting booth.

it wasn't until 1869, when the Fifth teenth Amendment was ratified, that males of all races got the vote.

It took another 50 years, with the ratification of th

e Nineteenth Amendment, for women to finally get suffrage.

The Twenty-Third Amendment gave limited voting rights to the residents of Washington D.C.

Then the 24th Amendment banned poll taxes that some states used to chase ethnic and poor people away from the ballot box. In some places, people needed to own property to vote - not anymore.

During the bitter years of the Vietnam War, Americans realized if young people can be ordered to fight and die, they deserve to choose their leaders. The Twenty-Sixth Amendment lowered the voting age to 18 years.

The Farmers' Holiday Association (FHA) individuals participated in the absolute most exceptional agrarian fights of the early long periods of the Depression. In February 1932, Glen Miller, an essayist for the distribution Iowa Union Farmer, contended that Iowa ranchers ought to proclaim an "occasion" in which ranch items would be kept at the homesteads where they were delivered until government officials and the overall population started to welcome the significance of ranchers.

Answer:

The theme chosen was "change in the main agreements built in the Versailles Treaty"

Explanation:

Gentlemen, when reading and analyzing the provisions established in the Treaty of Versailles, I felt the need to bring them together so that together we can discuss these provisions so that we can foresee possible harmful consequences for us and for all nations in the world.

Although Germany was one of the main culprits for the establishment of the war that caused us so much harm, I am afraid that the treaty established, will reinforce resentful feelings in the German population, regarding the difficulties that the treaty impose in the recovery of this region.

I fear that these feelings will trigger political and social movements that will stimulate a population revolt that results in yet another conflict to which we will be involved.

With that, I propose that some points of the Versailles Treaty be modified and that the punishments for Germany be milder in some ways. I do not ask for Germany to be pardoned, but for the treaty to propose punishments that allow the population to recover and have a dignified life, because despite the regrets, we are all human beings and in addition to paying for our mistakes, we must be able to maintain our dignity.
