The right of citizens of the United States to votes shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex...
- 19th Amendment to the U. S.
Constitution
What was one way the constitutional amendment excerpted above helped advance the
cause of gender equality?
It contributed to a long-term decline in the number of men voting in elections.
It established the idea that women should contribute to all sectors of the economy.
It gave women new economic rights, such as property ownership.
It gave women a greater opportunity to influence government.

It is from the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Because of this amendment, the voting rights of women are protected because a prior related amendment failed to include gender.

Explanation:

This text comes from the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. This amendment was a step forward when it came to protecting the rights of women. The Amendment prohibited the states, as well as the federal government from denying citizens the right to vote based on their sex.  This is one of the most important amendments when it comes to the universality of civil rights in the United States.
