Addison Juarez · Answer 2

"We regard these truths as self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed by the Creator with certain inalienable rights, which include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." from the Declaration of Independence (1776).

Explanation:

The suffrage movement sought to correct the amendments that gave men, the right to come and go, freedom of speech and vote, but did not include women.

Approved by Congress on June 4, 1919 and ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment granted women the right to vote.

The 19th Amendment to the US Constitution prohibits states and the federal government from denying the right to vote to United States citizens on the basis of gender.
