Why do
you think it took almost a hundred
|
|
|
years
for women and blacks to be guaranteed
|
|
|
voting
rights?
|
|
|
| 2. |
The
road to suffrage rights was not an easy one
|
|
for
African-Americans or women. Why did
so
|
|
|
many
people fight so hard for something that
|
|
|
today,
few people do? (only 49% of U.S.
|
|
|
citizens
voted in the 1996 presidential election)
|
|
|
| 3. |
The 26th Amendment, guaranteeing 18 year
|
|
|
|
|
olds the
right to vote, once proposed, passed
|
|
|
with
much more ease than the 15th and 19th
|
|
|
Amendments. Why do think this was true?
