Final answer:

The goal of the Seneca Falls Convention's resolution for women's right to vote was realized with the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, after decades of advocacy and campaigning by suffragists.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Seneca Falls Convention in July 1848 marked the beginning of the women's suffrage movement in the United States. This convention concluded with the Declaration of Sentiments, which demanded equal rights for women, including the right to vote.

The goal of this resolution was eventually achieved with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which explicitly prohibited the states and the federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex.

Despite the earlier disappointment with the 15th Amendment, which extended voting rights to African-American men but not women, and the 14th Amendment, which mentioned "male citizens" thus excluding women, suffragists continued their relentless campaigning for equal voting rights.
