Women Suffrage

A) Disagreements between N.W.P. and N.A.W.S.A:

1. State vs Federal Suffrage: The N.W.P. prioritized the passage of a constitutional amendment at the federal level ensuring women's suffrage throughout the United States.  The N.A.W.S.A tried to gain women's suffrage at the state level.

2. Aggression and Calmness: The N.W.P favored the use of aggressive and violent public demonstrations, including protests, lobbying and petitioning, parades, pageant, and picketing to campaign for constitutional amendments at the federal level to enforce equal rights between women and men.  They rioted at the White House, suffered arrests, imprisonment, and were sexually assaulted by the Police.

3. Use of Referenda and Constitutional Amendments: The N.W.P. focused on the federal government to obtain a constitutional amendment that would be applicable to all states.  On the other hand, the N.A.W.S.A favored the use of referenda at state levels to pass individual state suffrage laws.

B) N.A.W.S.A was not favorably disposed to the protests organized by the N.W.P. as they had adopted non-aggressive approaches.

Explanation:

a) Women Suffrage: The constitutional amendment adopted in 1920 that guarantees women the right to vote and be voted for.
