Question

which statement best explains how women achieved voting rights changes in the constitution? (1 point)
the right to vote was guaranteed when congress included the right to vote for women in the fifteenth amendment after the civil war.
the right to vote was secured through changing state laws that created momentum to add an amendment to the constitution.
the right to vote was secured when women won voter registration challenges under the fourteenth amendment.
the right to vote was secured through the declaration of sentiments, which declared that all women and men were equal.

Explanation:

The 19th Amendment to the US Constitution gave women the right to vote. Before that, changes in state - level laws regarding women's suffrage built momentum for a constitutional amendment. The Fifteenth Amendment after the Civil War guaranteed the right to vote regardless of "race, color, or previous condition of servitude" but not specifically for women. The Fourteenth Amendment dealt with citizenship and equal protection, not directly with women's suffrage. The Declaration of Sentiments was an important early statement but did not secure the right to vote.

Answer:

The right to vote was secured through changing state laws that created momentum to add an amendment to the Constitution.
