#English Study#Vocabulary of Election: Suffrage.  Suffrage means the right to vote in political elections. Suffrage is usually associated with women’s suffrage in the United States. After decades of protest, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which granted U.S. women the right to vote, was ratified in 1920. Though the 19th Amendment makes it illegal to deny the right to vote to any citizen based on their sex, many women of color, immigrant women and poorer women continued to face barriers at the polls.  It wasn’t until the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which forbids states from imposing discriminatory restrictions on who can vote, that all women, regardless of race, were able to vote.Here is an example: “The Seneca Falls convention was the first time a group of people formally gathered to discuss women’s suffrage. ”
#英语学习#与选举有关的词汇:Suffrage（选举权/投票权）。“Suffrage”指的是在政治选举中投票的权利。在美国，“Suffrage”一词通常与女性的选举权联系在一起。经过几十年的抗议，美国宪法第19修正案于1920年获得批准，赋予美国女性投票权。第19修正案禁止因为性别剥夺任何美国公民的投票权，但是许多非白人女性、移民女性和贫困女性依然面临投票的障碍。直到1965年《投票权法案》通过，禁止美国各州设置歧视性投票限制，所有美国女性，不论种族，才获得了投票的权利。例句：“The Seneca Falls convention was the first time a group of people formally gathered to discuss women’s suffrage.（塞内卡福尔斯会议是针对妇女投票权问题首次召开的正式会议)。”
