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.
