| Votes for Women The 15th amendment gave African American men the right to vote, but did not include women. In this time black men did not have the same rights as the white men. The amendment sought to address social problems because you couldn’t be denied the right to vote on your skin color or social status. The main intent of this amendment was that the rights of a citizen shouldn’t be taken away because of race or status. This law succeeded up to the extent where now African Americans have the rights as other men. The 19th amendment was the law for women's suffrage. This is where women got the right to vote. It was an important thing because women never had the same rights as men. It sought to address social problems because it gave equality to men and women. The main provision of this law was to allow women to be able to speak in what they thought should happen in the country they live in. The amendment extent to solve problems because men were not the only ones to be able to have a say in the things that happen to the country, now women were able to be part of that. The 15th and 19th amendments are similar because they both target almost the same things. They sought to address social problems because it gave equality to those who were missing. African Americans and women were still being discriminated in these times. These laws solved problems because there would be improvement in democracy. After these laws came into effect, more people had a say in what would be happening. Soures: http://www.loc.gov |
I agree with that these two amendments would bring improvement to democracy. Now women could have a say in what is going on in the nation. It's true that people shouldn't be judged on skin color or status. People should be judged by their character. This brought a new era of democracy. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you when you said that African american are sill being discriminated these days. Discrimination can happen to any one also for an imbecilic reason. You did really good.I seriously enjoyed reading this post.
ReplyDeleteI agree with these two amendments. It was important that the country passed these amendments to show that everyone should have the right to vote for who was in charge of the country they lived in.
ReplyDeletei guess since i did the exact same thing i agree withyou.sice the 15th amendment included african americans i agree with you.since the 19th included woman being able to vote i agree with you
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. These two amendments are very important in history. Voting privileges for women haven't even passed a 100 years.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you as well it's extremely vital that women be able to vote and there shouldnt have even been a law about that women should've been able to vote from the beginnig so i agree with you and the same goes for the African americans. Everyone should be treated equally for real.
