19th Amendment of the U. S. Constitution
Approved on August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment of
the US Constitution focused on voting rights for American
women. The 19th amendment was a result of generations
of women's suffrage. Women had begun their protests in
the early 1800s by organizing marches and petitions, and
their main purpose was to empower women with the right
to vote. However, it took over 100 years and a lot of
struggle for their dreams to finally come true.
Women endured many hardships, such as being
heckled or thrown in jail. They also received mixed
responses from the different states between 1878, when
the amendment was introduced to Congress, and 1920. A
number of states still supported male-only voting rights
However, with President Wilson's support, the
amendment was finally accepted in 1919 and the
American voting system changed radically
Which sentence could be added to paragraph 1 for a stronger introduction?
OA Women have been able to vote in national elections since 1920
OB. For as long as most people can remember, women have had the vote.
OC. Voting in elections is a constitutional right that must be protected
OD. Since the US Constitution was ratified, it has been amended 27 times.

I don't know lets try now

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
