The Amendment was passed August 26, 1920. Their fight to vote started sometime in the 1820s. In the 1820s american women were titled to be a perfect housewife which included cooking for the men and children, cleaning, looking after children, and should be submissive towards the other gender. They were not allowed to have paying jobs because men thought women could not handle that things except for taking care of their family. In 1851 Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton work together to fight for women’s rights. A lot of people were against what they were trying to accomplish and still are. They worked together in making a newspaper to promote the idea of women’s rights. Around 1869 the National Women’s Suffrage Association was formed

right to vote when the 19th amendment got ratified in the year 1920. Before the 19th amendment, only 4 states gave women the right to vote. The western states gave women the right to vote so that more people could come to their states. The women suffrage was run by strong women. Two of the women were Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady. The women got the right to vote because they have been fighting for their rights since 1775, women were striking for their rights at their job to so that they can be equal as men, the women’s right convention that opened the new possibility for women, and the 4 states that gave women rights before the 19th amendment.

Women’s suffrage, or the crusade to achieve the equal right for women to vote and run for political office, was a difficult fight that took activists in the United States almost 100 years to win. On August 26, 1920 the 19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was ratified, declaring all women be empowered with the same rights and responsibilities of citizenship as men, and on Election Day, 1920 millions of women exercised their right to vote for the very first time.

The election of President Obama marks the most noteworthy political accomplishment for African Americans in the United States during the post-civil rights revolution, thus bringing about a change in the country’s social and political landscape that was steeped in racial discrimination since the founding of this great nation. Because social and political conditions are subject to constant change, President Obama’s

The American elections of 2012 was very competitive between the Democrat candidate Barrack Obama, who was the president then, and Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate. The campaigns and presidential debates were quite heated and as has been earlier mentioned, it was tight for each of them as polls clearly indicated that both Obama and Romney had more or less an equally high chance of winning the presidential elections. Demographics played a significant part in seeing Obama take the day. The groups of people that actually made the difference include groups of young women, African Americans, Hispanics and Asian Americans. Some of the states in which Obama won include New York, New Jersey, New Mexico,

In the face of negativity from White and Black America, Obama continued to annihilate his White opponents one-by-one with his cool, charismatic persona and his high-level intellect. During this time, my lifelong Democratic family knew he was going to win the Presidency because the country desperately needed change from the status quo. Continuously, my parents watched CNN on a 24-hour loop, refusing to miss one moment of history in the making. On November 4, 2008, America elected Barack Obama as the first African-American President of the United States, winning 69.5 million popular votes; the highest number ever won by a presidential candidate, and 365 electoral votes. This was the most memorable positive political event that I had ever witnessed. On this day, the country as a whole spoke loud and clear on this day through the voting process. Furthermore, President Obama repeated similar statistics in 2012, serving as our President for two terms, leaving the White House with a 58%

Culminating a long, arduous journey with the victorious election of an African American as President of the United States, Black people finally felt as if they had finally reached “the promised land.” Historically a marvelous achievement, considering the years of genocide, oppression, discrimination, and institutional and social racism, the election of Barack Obama in November, 2008 was a milestone that gave African Americans a pinnacle of pride. Frederick Harris gives critical analysis in his book, The Price of the Ticket: Barack Obama and the Rise and Decline of Black Politics, about the lack of initiatives specifically targeted to address and either eliminate or improve problems besetting the Black community. In his summation of the book Harris proposes, “black voters put aside policy demand for the prize of electing one of their own to the White House.” (p. 169). Black voters and leaders within the community overwhelmingly supported the President, and the symbolism of having one

I decided to write about the 2008 election between Illinois senator Barack Obama which is our 44th president and Arizona senator John McCain. This election was historical in many ways. For one Barack Obama was the first African-American man to ever be elected president of the United States of America. Another reason would be that the U.S. achieved record voter turnout numbers of African-Americans and Hispanics. Also it is estimated that over a 136 million Americans voted for president in the 2008 election. In the 2008 election the Democratic Party chose senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden as the Vice President. The Republican Party chose senators John McCain and Sarah Palin. The Libertarian Party chose Bob Barr while the independent party

In a country dominated by White Americans in American Politics. Former President Barack Obama has achieved the unthinkable in a society ruled by White-Americans. With the popularity, Obama had with the youth, he was able to get young voters to vote for him. A refreshing new face to hold office in a house that has been resided 43 times by European American males. Further, I was a senior when Obama first held office and history was in the making. I remember that the atmosphere at the school was a feeling of victory since it was the first time an African-American was successful at becoming the commander in chief of the United States. Moreover, voter turnout increased during the first presidential elections as compared to the 2004 presidential elections.

While the 2012 election was a close race, it ultimately came down to the presence of minorities to determine the outcome of the vote. The change came down to a few factors, first a shift in the turnout of different groups of eligible voters, a change in preferences for the candidates they vote for and the eligible voter population had changed significantly demographically. They stated how the black turnout rose nearly two percent and has been the highest since 1968 when they first began conducting the census surveys. After Barack Obama was elected president, many Americans believed that we would transition into a post racial society, but as we see the numerous instances of racial conflicts keep happening we see that this is far from true. I

November 4, 2008 over twelve million young Americans decided they wanted a change. A change that could help better the world. The chose President Barack Obama because he brought about change to the world, he was the person who gave them help for the better, and most of all he was the person who helped them feel amalgamated and durable. He was the first African American to be elected, and the first president to use media to help reach out to the fledgling generation. It was so effective that this aided his campaign in 2008, and has effectively aided his re-election in 2012 up to the present-day time. While most of the presidents who participated in the presidential election focused their ideas towards winning the election, President Obama wanted

The Women’s Suffrage Movement of the 1920’s worked to grant women the right to vote nationally, thereby allowing women more political equality. Due to many industrial and social changes during the early 19th century, many women were involved in social advocacy efforts, which eventually led them to advocate for their own right to vote and take part in government agencies. Women have been an integral part of society, working to help those in need, which then fueled a desire to advocate for their own social and political equality. While many women worked tirelessly for the vote, many obstacles, factions, and ultimately time would pass in order for women to see the vote on the national level. The 19th Amendment, providing women the right to vote, enable women further their pursuit for full inclusion in the working of American society.

The president-elect’s campaign of coded, “dog whistle” language worked to consolidate a solid 58% majority of white voters. His successful rise was fueled by many things: the fact that there is a black man in the White House, America’s steady advancement towards becoming a majority-minority country and the fact that minorities are flexing their political muscles.

The surge in ethnic minority populations had a great impact to American society. Since the increase in minority populations, their voting right became more and more important. In terms of political participation of minorities, there are several issues that need attention. First partisan issue minorities. In general, minorities tend to Democrats. Secondly, the immigration is not the most important issue voters' concerns, but the economic and employment issues get most minorities’ attention. For Hispanics, immigration issue is very critical.

In the 2008 and 2012 election the black demographic group spiked for the election of Obama to 90% of the demographic group.
