Which issue did the Nineteenth Amendment address?
A.
coverture
B.
segregation
C.
citizenship
D.
sexual harassment
Would it be B?
the correct answer is A. coverture is where married women did not have legal standing separate from their husbands. This was one of the women's concerns at Seneca Falls.
No.
it's the right for women to vote... so maybe A? It's not addressing harassment or citizenship (I was thinking like "women segregation" and how they didn't have the right to vote).
I think it addresses citizenship. Citizens should be able to vote. Women couldn't vote until granted that right by the 19th amendment.
Ah ok that makes sense, thanks Ms. Sue
You're welcome, dbh.
No, the correct answer is A. The Nineteenth Amendment addressed the issue of coverture, not segregation. To find the answer to this question, it is important to understand the purpose and impact of the Nineteenth Amendment.
The Nineteenth Amendment, ratified in 1920, granted women in the United States the right to vote. Before the amendment was passed, women had been fighting for suffrage for many years. Coverture was a legal doctrine that defined a married woman's legal and economic status as being under the control and protection of her husband. It prevented women from owning property, engaging in contracts, and participating in political activities such as voting.
By granting women the right to vote, the Nineteenth Amendment played a significant role in challenging and overturning the notion of coverture. This historical milestone contributed to advancing women's rights and equality in society.
In summary, the issue addressed by the Nineteenth Amendment was coverture, which restricted women's rights and prevented them from voting.
