Tennessee women played a vital role in getting support for the 19th Amendment. Ann Dallas Dudley of Nashville, Abby Crawford Milton of Chattanooga, and Sue Shelton White of Jackson were prominent among those who fought to gain popular and legislative support for women's voting rights.

An important amendment of the constitution states that all men have the rights to vote beyond the discrimination of sex and gender. This instigated women in America to claim their right for enfranchisement. Tennessee was the last state which satisfied the condition of two third states’ majority in order to ratify the women’s suffrage clause as per the laws portrayed in the constitution.

Many women activists fought the struggle to claim their rights. One such women activist was Elizabeth Avery Meriwether. She wrote many newsletters to journals and other publication promoting the support for women suffrage. She also attempted to participate in a state election in Memphis and also rented a theater where she discoursed on why women must be given the right to vote.

She had opened an organization called women suffrage organization in Memphis, Nashville and Maryville. Her resignation was a great blow on the women suffrage movement.  It was the single-handed battle of Elizabeth Avery Meriwether which guaranteed the women of America their right to cast in a ballot.

hello here your answer and please mark me as brainlest

Both English philosophers, Hobbes and Locke, believed there is a "social contract" -- that governments are formed by the will of the people.  But their theories on why people want to live under governments were very different.

Thomas Hobbes published his political theory in Leviathan in 1651, following the chaos and destruction of the English Civil War.  He saw human beings as naturally suspicious of one another, in competition with each other, and evil toward one another as a result.  Forming a government meant giving up personal liberty, but gaining security against what would otherwise be a situation of every person at war with every other person.

John Locke published his Two Treatises on Civil Government in 1690, following the mostly peaceful transition of government power that was the Glorious Revolution in England.  Locke believed people are born as blank slates--with no preexisting knowledge or moral leanings.  Experience then guides them to the knowledge and the best form of life, and they choose to form governments to make life and society better.

In teaching about Hobbes and Locke, I've often described the difference between them in this way.  If society were playground basketball, Hobbes believed you must have a referee who sets and enforces rules, or else the players will eventually get into heated arguments and bloody fights with one another, because people get nasty in competition that way.   Locke believed you could have an enjoyable game of playground basketball without a referee, but a referee makes the game better because then any disputes that come up between players have a fair way of being resolved.    Of course, Hobbes and Locke never actually wrote about basketball -- a game not invented until 1891 in America by James Naismith.  But it's just an illustration I've used to try to show the difference of ideas between Hobbes and Locke.   :-)
