In Honor of Rights Unchanged

In 1920 Congress passed the Nineteenth Constitutional Amendment:

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

Although, the Nineteenth Amendment is commonly referred to as the amendment that gave women the right to vote, the wording of the legislation is unambiguous; the rights of women to suffrage were unchanged, only the ability of states to deny those rights were affected.

Over 90 years later many Americans continue to believe that state and federal governments are granting rights to people who don't deserve them. In truth, rights aren't given—we're born with them, and the government is charged with protecting those rights.
