Guinn vs. United States
@Harrymothersaysyes Its ratified! my son, bless his heart, cast the deciding vote, in tennessee !#voteforwomen #19thamenedment
The National Womens Party, led by Alice Paul, began their aggressive campaign of direct action.
The Supreme Court ruled that Oklahoma's Grandfather Clause was unconstitutional because it violated the 15th amendment.
"They just drafted my friend to Vietnam, but he can't vote for the President who sent him there. That's a moral failure! If you're old enough to die for your country, you're old enough to choose its leaders." Senator Proponent (50s): "I agree. The hypocrisy is indefensible. The sacrifice of our young men and women in the military demands we recognize their full citizenship. We must pass this 26th Amendment now." Conservative Senator (60s): "Nonsense. Eighteen-year-olds are immature and easily swayed by radical rhetoric. They lack the life experience and wisdom needed to make sound political judgments. This will be a disaster for the stability of our democracy." College Student (18): "We aren't children! We follow the news, we attend rallies, and we are directly impacted by government policy—war, taxes, education funding. We deserve a say in the laws that govern us." Parent (40s): "As a mother, I'd rather see my son exercising his civic right than risking his life. Give them the vote and maybe they'll feel a greater stake in creating a more peaceful world."
The VRA outlawed discrimatory voting practice, such as literacy tests. The core of the laws was Section 5, which requred states and local government.
