Broaden the discussion to all 4 amendments ratified in the Progressive Era: 16 (1913), 17 (1916), 18 (1919), 19 (1920).
Of course, the 19th was repealed in 1933 by the 21st Amendment so maybe it should be excluded. I’d contend the adverse results of the 19th are exactly the reason to have it in the discussion. IMO, all of these amendments having as a source the Progressive movement interlocks them to the point where trying to consider them in isolation is nearly impossible. Say what you will about their goals or methods, the Progressive movement had a single-minded vision and worked to achieve it. Compare to the ability of today’s Republicans to get anything done...

I think you meant to say the 18th amendment was repealed, not the 19th.
