In the original Constitution did women have the right to vote?
No. The Constitution only uses the gender neutral "people" or "person" and never specifically mentions either sex, male or female. The Constitution was thus phrased to apply equally to both women and men.Contrary to common opinion, women were not denied the right to vote by the original Constitution--the individual states were left to determine their own requirements for voting. It was at the state level that women were unconstitutionally denied their right to vote. The states lost the power to exclude citizens from voting on the basis of sex with the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920.
What is the importance of minority?
It has been said that rights are either absolute, or do not exist at all. Meaning that unless a right is always present, and applies to everyone, it is not a right but a privilege. Privileges can be granted or taken away, rights cannot. From this perspective - if rights are denied to a minority then they are really being denied to everyone.
