Detailed explanation-1: -Passed by Congress June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment granted women the right to vote. The 19th amendment legally guarantees American women the right to vote. Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle-victory took decades of agitation and protest.
Detailed explanation-2: -The leaders of this campaign-women like Susan B. Anthony, Alice Paul, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone and Ida B. Wells-did not always agree with one another, but each was committed to the enfranchisement of all American women.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Women’s suffrage movement in India fought for Indian women’s right to political enfranchisement in Colonial India under British rule. Beyond suffrage, the movement was fighting for women’s right to stand for and hold office during the colonial era.
Detailed explanation-4: -During America’s early history, women were denied some of the basic rights enjoyed by male citizens. For example, married women couldn’t own property and had no legal claim to any money they might earn, and no female had the right to vote. Women were expected to focus on housework and motherhood, not politics.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Nineteenth Amendment of the Constitution of India, officially known as The Constitution (Nineteenth Amendment) Act, 1966, abolished Election Tribunals in India and enabled trial of election petitions by High Courts.
