Which amendment is associated with extending the vote to women?

• A. Equal Rights Amendment
• B. 21st Amendment
• C. 26th Amendment
• D. 19th Amendment

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is women’s suffrage—the right for women to vote. The amendment that achieved this is the 19th Amendment, ratified in 1920, which prohibits denying the right to vote on the basis of sex. This guaranteed women across the United States the ability to participate in elections. The other options don’t fit this specific change: the Equal Rights Amendment would aim to guarantee equal rights regardless of sex but has not been ratified at the federal level; the 21st Amendment ended Prohibition and has nothing to do with voting rights; the 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18.
