Question

Women's suffrage in the United States was a hot button issue that culminated in the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution in August, 1920. At the time, how do you think functionalists would address the issue of women voting and participating in the political process and why? If someone stepped forward in a public forum and worked to repeal the Nineteenth Amendment in 2020, how would functionalism interpret that pursuit?

Answer 1

Every component or aspects of society is important.

Step-by-step explanation:

Functionalists would address the issue of women voting and participating in the political process because they thought that every component and subject of society are important for the betterment and development of the society. Functionalism is a theory which states that all aspects of a society serve a purpose and necessary for the long-term survival of the society. If someone repeal on the Nineteenth Amendment in the year 2020, the functionalism interpret that pursuit as a violation of rights of women and defend it at any cost.
