i understand your point on the womens suffrage, however, most states did not allow women to vote. and many would not have changed those laws without constitutional intervention. i wonder why this amendment causes you irritation and not the amendments that allow other ethnic and racial groups a constitutional right to vote? are they not just as progressive and big government as the one for womens suffrage?
First of all, I personally didn’t write the article, and second of all, as I understood it, most states actually DID allow women to vote prior to ratification of the 19th, and third of all, I’m not opposed to women’s suffrage. I would be content with some way of successfully dragging liberals into the 18th Century (collectivism, I’m sure, is as old as civilization itself) and then, hopefully, into the 21st.
