Final answer:

The statement is false; New Jersey's original 1776 constitution granted voting rights to certain women until the laws were changed in 1807.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that no state constitution in the Revolutionary Era allowed women the right to vote is false. While it is true that most of the states did not grant women the right to vote after the American Revolution, there were rare exceptions. New Jersey's constitution of 1776 granted voting rights to 'all inhabitants' who met certain property requirements, which included unmarried women and widows. It wasn't until 1807 that New Jersey passed laws to restrict the franchise to white male citizens only.
