One result of Susan B. Anthony’s trial was a focus on the right of every citizen (man and woman) to a fair trial by jury. Another result of that trial was that the judge authorized the passage of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.

We are referring to the case of US vs. Susan B. Anthony of 1873. Anthony had voted in Rochester, New York, in the elections of 1872, when state laws prohibited woman to vote. As one of the leaders of the Women's Suffrage movement, Susan B. Anthony argued that she had the right to vote because she was attending the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
