Question

Which of the following organizations worked primarily for women’s suffrage? NAACP NAWSA NCL WCTU

Answer 1

Answer: NAWSA (National American Woman Suffrage Association)

This organization, officially born on May 5th, 1869 in New York, played a crucial role in defending the individual liberties and rights of women, among which was the right to vote.

They achieved this with their successful ways of protesting without the use of violence to demand, among several things, the right of constitutional interpretation derived from the Fourteenth Amendment, arguing that women had the right to vote because they were equally citizens, since they paid taxes (without being represented).

In addition, this organization argued that women were governed without their consent since they were not allowed to elect their rulers.
