Answer:

He extended the right to vote, regardless of the person's gender.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Nineteenth Amendment was developed to extend suffrage to women. It was proposed on June 4, 1919 and was ratified on August 18, 1920.

The amendment was the culmination of the work of the feminist movement in favor of women's suffrage. Another of the activist groups that seconded the feminist struggle was that of the Silent Sentinels who protested in front of the White House to raise awareness about the problem.

The National Women's Party urged the public to vote against senators who rejected women's suffrage. After the 1918 elections, most members of Congress supported women's suffrage. On May 21, 1919, the House of Representatives approved the amendment and two weeks later, on June 4, the Senate approved it as well.

It was ratified on August 18, 1920 by Tennessee. Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby certified the ratification on August 26, 1920.
