Governor Brough supported the suffrage movement which led to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. What was this amendment about?

Answer 1

The Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified on August 18, 1920, granted women the right to vote. It states, "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." This amendment is commonly known as the Women's Suffrage Amendment and played a crucial role in expanding democratic participation and promoting gender equality in the United States.
