The correct answer is D) Leaders of the National American Woman Suffrage Association lobbied state legislators to pass state amendments to permit women voting rights.

This tactic reflects a strategic approach by a political party (or movement) to reconcile the American ideal of equal rights and representation with public policy by actively advocating for legislative changes at the state level to secure voting rights for women. The other choices, while significant, do not directly demonstrate the action of a political party reconciling ideals with public policy in the same manner.
