How was the 19th Amendment limited in how it addressed barriers to citizen enfranchisement?

A. The 19th Amendment added barriers to the process of voter registration.
B. The 19th Amendment did not address barriers related to race.
C. The 19th Amendment only applied to specific state and local elections.

The 19th Amendment granted women the legal right to vote but did not eliminate barriers related to race or discriminatory voting practices. It allowed states to maintain regulations that could disenfranchise minority voters, thus limiting its effectiveness. Therefore, the best option is B: The 19th Amendment did not address barriers related to race.

The 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote but did not eliminate barriers related to race or discriminatory practices that continued to disenfranchise many citizens. Despite the legal right to vote, factors like literacy tests and poll taxes persisted, affecting particularly minority groups. Thus, its implementation was limited in achieving true universal enfranchisement. ;
