The 19th Amendment

The 19th Amendment:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

I believe this amendment states equality for both men and women. The men have as much a right to vote as the women, and the women have as much right to vote as the men. It shows that the government is trying to create more equality throughout the united states, and in this specific amendment, women are the main factor. Women were not allowed to vote for a very long time and by this law/amendment being created, it allows women to vote as freely as the men.
