Answer 1

The Fourteenth Amendment did not give women the right to vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is False. The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, granted citizenship and equal protection under the law to all individuals born or naturalized in the United States, regardless of race or gender. However, it did not specifically give women the right to vote. It wasn't until the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified in 1920 that women were granted the right to vote in the United States.
