The 19th Amendment also said that the women should be allowed to contribute and speak in the Congress. In addition, it made sure all women had equal rights. The 19th Amendment led to a large and very important shift in the political balance. In simple terms, it is mainly saying that it gave all men and women equal voting rights. It used to be only men were allowed to vote, but because of this it now allows women to vote as well. []  ^Above they were signing the 19th Amendment.
