Final answer:

The term WASP actually stands for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, reflecting historical overrepresentation in leadership, not Women Anglo Saxon Protester. In the U.S. suffrage movement, groups like NAWSA and NWP had different membership bases and tactics, and concerning the Revolutionary Era, it is true that no state constitution allowed women to vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

The acronym WASP is commonly understood to stand for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant and historically, this group has been overrepresented in American politics and societal leadership positions. The statement Women Anglo Saxon Protester is incorrect, as WASP does not stand for that, and it falsely suggests that WASPs do not typically rule the majority of votes, politics, and government regulations. In the context of U.S. women's suffrage history, organizations like NAWSA (National American Woman Suffrage Association) and NWP (National Woman's Party) played vital roles. With regards to voting rights during the Revolutionary Era, it is True that no state constitution allowed women the right to vote.

Regarding the suffrage movement, there were indeed divisions and differentiated strategies such as NAWSA's focus on middle-class women and more conservative tactics compared to NWP's appeal to the working-class and confrontational approaches. Moreover, there was complexity in the movement concerning race, as evidenced by the segregation of black and white women in suffrage parades and the different views toward African American voting rights within the NAWSA.
