The Nineteenth Amendment guarantees what right?

• A. The right to vote cannot be denied on account of sex.
• B. Right to bear arms.
• C. Right to free speech.
• D. Right to due process.

Answer: (A)

Securing women's suffrage across the United States. The Nineteenth Amendment states that the right to vote cannot be denied or abridged on account of sex, guaranteeing that women have the same voting rights as men nationwide. Ratified in 1920 after a long, hard-fought campaign by suffragists such as Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and later leaders like Carrie Chapman Catt and Alice Paul, it ended legal barriers to female voting in all states. This reflects Progressive Era efforts to expand democracy and make legal rights more universal. The other options map to different amendments: bearing arms is a right under the Second Amendment; free speech is protected by the First Amendment; due process is a protection under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. None of those guarantee women's right to vote; they address separate civil liberties.
