Only one: the Fourteenth Amendment.\n\n"No state shall .... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."\n\nThere are some other amendments which expanded sufferage, but none of them mention equality (even though the equal right to vote is the obvious point of those other amendments).

Once upon a time (in the United States), only white land-owning males were allowed to vote. The concern of a higher turn-out was not relevant at that time, as the voting population had the discretion to take a day off for the purpose of voting if they chose to do so. Remember, black males didn't get the right to vote until after passage of the 14th (equal protection under the law) amendment, and women didn't have the vote until passage of the 19th amendment in 1920.\n\nNowadays, it would be more logical to hold elections on a Saturday, or over a weekend...or do as we do here in Oregon: conduct all votes by mail....in effect making all voters into "absentee voter"

HOW LONG AS VOTING BEEN OUT OF CONTROL IN THIS GREAT LAND,SINCE IT STARTED. WOMEN DENIED THE RIGHT TO VOTE,BLACKS DENIED THE RIGHT TO VOTE.IF A DISTRICT IS STRONG IN VOTING FOR ONE PARTY AND THE OTHER PARTY GETS IN POWER,THEY CHANGE THE DISTRICT SO THE VOTING WILL BE MORE FAVORABLE TO THEM.TODAY YOU HAVE TO BE FROM IRAQ AND HAVE AT LEAST ONE FINGER,I BELIEVE MOST OF THEIR PAPERS GOT BLOWN UP LONG AGO.\nSO THE BEST REASON FOR KATRINA VICTIMS BEING DENIED THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE IS,THEY WERE A STRONG HOLD OF VOTERS FOR ONE PARTY AND "SOMEONE"WANTS THAT BROKEN UP,ANOTHER REASON THEY'LL STILL BE SPREAD OUT IN THE STATES IN 2008.

By far the most important laws passed in the 1950s were written after the Supreme Court decision of Brown v. The Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas in which the Court ruled that publis schools could NOT be segregated.  After that decision there were a plethora of cases and laws passed that opened the doors to integration in schools, movie theaters, universities, swimming pools, golf courses, mortuaries, bus stations, etc...\n\n\nIncidentally, women got the right to vote in 1920--NOT the 1950s.

The "problem" or reason women were not allowed to vote was that they were viewed as inherently unequal to men. Women were thought to be weaker and unable to think properly for themselves which would result in them being unable to make wise decisions in voting. This was due to the fact that through out history women had essentially remained at home and taken care of family life, doing the cooking and cleaning while their husbands or fathers worked to provide for the family and made all of the tough decisions about money,etc.\n\nThe solution started around WWI when men had to leave their homes in order to fight the war and women had to pick up life where they left off; many women had to take jobs outside of the home for the first time and do things that only men had done previously. When the men came back from the war, the realized that women were capable of thinking and functioning on their own. This lead to the passage of the 19th Amendment in the year 1920(Woodrow Wilson was one of the leading advocates for the Amendment). Before this time however, there were several movements that helped lead up to the passage of the 19th Amendment. Women as early as Abagail Adams(wife of President John Adams) appealed for the right to vote. The most recognized names of the women's suffrage movement are Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony both of whom were present at the famous Seneca Falls Convention in 1848. This was one of the most famous examples of women rotesting for the right to vote.\n\nA modern parallel to the Women's Suffrage movement would be the Civil Rights movenment in the 1950s and 60s. African Americans had to endure the same unequal treatment and fight for their right to vote in the way women did.They had to overcome cultural obstacles in same way.

The Suffragettes wanted the right for women to vote. \n\nThe move for women to have the vote had really started in 1897 when Millicent Fawcett founded the National Union of Women's Suffrage. "Suffrage" means the right to vote and that is what women wanted - hence its inclusion in Fawcett's title.\n\nMillicent Fawcett believed in peaceful protest.

Women were not allowed to be in public office or vote in those days. The only powerful women in those days were the wives of the president, and not very powerful at that. \n\nAmerican women were not given the vote until 1920.
