The right to vote was not established by just one person. Three people played a role in the right of all United States Citizens to vote, in 1882 Thomas Dorr was a renegade legislature from Rhode Island who led riots for his beliefs. In 1917, Alice Paul spent time in jail for demanding the right for women to vote, and in 1961, Paul Moses used the Civil Rights Movement to give all citizens the right to vote.

What is the significance of the nineteenth amendment to the Us. constitution?
Ratified on August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted American women the right to vote-a right known as woman suffrage. At the time the U.S. was founded, its female citizens did not share all of the same rights as men, including the right to vote. It was not until 1848 that the movement for women's rights launched on a national level with a convention in Seneca Falls, New York, organized by abolitionists Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902) and Lucretia Mott (1793-1880). Following the convention, the demand for the vote became a centerpiece of the women's rights movement. Stanton and Mott, along with Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) and other activists, formed organizations that raised public awareness and lobbied the government to grant voting rights to women. After a 70-year battle, these groups finally emerged victorious with the passage of the 19th Amendment.
