Why was it necessary to amend the U.S. Constitution before all women in the United States got the right to vote
A. All new laws require a change to the U.S. Constitution.
B. Without a constitutional amendment, individual states would have the right to deny women the right to vote.
C. The national government could prevent women from voting in western states.
D. Women had served their country during World War I.
The answer is B, because any law defying the constitution is not law, therefore, the states would then not be able to deny a woman’s right to vote individually so long as there is a constitutional amendment stating otherwise.
