Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. June 4, 1919. The Nineteenth Amendment (Amendment XIX) to the United States Constitution prohibits any United States citizen to be denied the right to vote based on sex. It was ratified on August 18, 1920. The Constitution allows the states to determine the qualifications for voting, and until the 1910's most states disenfranchised women. The amendment was the culmination of the women's suffrage movement in the United States, which fought at both state and national levels to achieve the vote. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton drafted the amendment and first introduced it in 1878, but it took 41 years for Congress to submit the amendment to the states for ratification.
