I going to assume the role of a North Carolina legislator who voted for women's suffrage. The reason why I voted this why is because women should have the right to vote they are surpose to be equal to men. If they don't have the right to vote then things are not being done fairly. When we were stating our government we put that people would be treat fair and by letting women vote we are being fair to everyone and not opposing what we wrote.

I would vote for women's suffrage because women are equal to men and deserve to get just as many right as the men. men might be the ones that go out and earn the money, but that is because society doesn't think that women are capable of working and raising a family. Well, they are, and giving women the vote proves it. Women can form their own opinions just as well as men and they should be allowed to have and express their own beliefs; not their husbands. Finally, women are the real rulers of society because they make men's lives liveable.

I am a North Carolina legislator who voted for women's suffrage in 1920. I voted for this bill for these reasons. Since the late 1800s more women have gotten jobs and an education so I think they deserve the right to vote.
Secondly, women are citizens and as long as they meet the age requirement they have certain rights, such as voting. After all, America is supposed to stand for freedom and democracy for all its people.
Finally, women in other states have received the right to vote, and it doesn't seem to be caused any problems. Don't women in N.C. deserve the same rights as women in other
Finally, women in other states have already gotten the right to vote, and it hasn't caused them any problems. Don't women in North Carolina deserve the same rights as women in other states?
These are some of the reasons why I voted for the 19th Amendment (Women's Suffrage). It's time women were considered as citizens, not property!
