Answer 1

Passed by US Congress on June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote nationwide. However, technically women were allowed to vote in Wyoming since 1869.

The 19th Amendment

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Answer 2

1920 was the year when women gain the right to vote

19th amendment

Step-by-step explanation:

The 19th Amendment states that the right to vote "shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." In theory, this language guaranteed that all women in the United States could not be prevented from voting because of their gender. In reality, a continual disregard for the 15th Amendment--which had been ratified 50 years earlier and banned voter discrimination based on race--created a loophole to prevent black women and other women of color from voting on account of their race.

Passed by Congress June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th amendment granted women the right to vote. The 19th amendment legally guarantees American women the right to vote. Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle—victory took decades of agitation and protest.
