The Nineteenth Amendment gave women the right to vote.  The text of the  19th Amendment to the Constitution reads as follows: "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."

The proposal to add such an amendment was first introduced in Congress in 1878, but Congress did not pass the amendment till 1919 -- after the experience of women taking on greater roles in the country during the First World War.  The amendment achieved ratification by a sufficient number of states and was added to the Constitution by August, 1920.

The passage of the 19th Amendment essentially doubled the number of eligible voters in the United States, since prior to its passage, only male citizens could vote.

What was the significance of the Cumberland Road?
Bad White [126]

The correct answer is A.

It gave settlers a quicker way to move west.

Explanation:

The Cumberland Road or National Road was a road built by the government of the U.S. between 1811 and 1837 that covered around 1000 kilometers from Maryland to Illinois. This road was relevant because although by then there were other roads this was the first major highway and also this implied settlers could go to the West of the territory in an easier and quicker way. Indeed for many years, this was the road taken by those that wanted to travel to the West and the North West. Therefore, the Cumberland Road was significant mainly because it gave settlers a quicker way to move west.

How are presidential elections different from other American elections
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

A presidential election does not actually use the votes in the way we would think the person with the most votes does not actually always win like in most other American elections. The presidential election works based on the large cities and counties in each state for instance NY more total counties voted red but the bigger counties like NYC voted blue so the total of new york state was blue. In the previous election Hillary Clinton won the popular vote meaning she got the most votes and yet Donald Trump still won the presidency this is a prime example.
