First, thanks for inviting me to participe in your blog. It's dissapointing that no one had participed in this challenge because like all of them, it's very interesting. I'll try to answer correctly the questions. Sorry if I make mistakes in the grammar, vocabulary...
Question 1.
Census suffrage.
Question 2.
- It was the Constitution of 1812. 'La Pepa'.
- It was in 1890. The Constitution of 1876 didn't say anything about this up to 1890.
Question 3.
- It was in 1931 with the Second Spanish Republic. The feminist Clara Campoamor defended the vote for women.
- During Franco's dictatorship, women lost the right to vote, only men could vote in the 'referemdums' (the result was predicted) like head of family.
Question 4.
It's the person that protested seeking the right to vote for women in England at the beginnings of XXth century.
Question 5.
- It was the Constituion of the United States in 1787.
- I think it included census suffage.
Question 6.
Most of them defend rights of people like the presumption of innocence. Today, these rights look obvius but the struggles for equality have been a long process and today many struggles continue.
The right to bear arms is very controversial and I think it must be forbidden. Also, the methods of punishment have been very polemic like actually the electric chair.
Related to voting.
- Prohibits the denial of suffrage based on race, color... In 1869 and it passed in 1870.
- Establishes women's suffrage in 1919. It passed a year after.
- Establishes 18 as the national voting age in 1971.
That's all. I hope Paqui's corrections because she will explain better all. Bye!
Very good, Alberto. All your answers are good and well explained. Your grammar and vocabulary are also correct. Thanks for participating. I really appreciate that. You will receive your prize when you come back ;)
Only one comment to your answers, Alberto. The Constitution of the USA didn´t include any type of suffrage, only the right to vote. Every State should establish the conditions for voting. Many of them gave right to vote only to the white men and there were economic restrictions in some cases. The slaves and the Native Americans were excluded. This is why the amendments were so important.
Thanks again for participating.
