Nineteenth Amendment To The United States Constitution - Effects

Effects

Following the Nineteenth Amendment's adoption, many legislators feared that a powerful women's bloc would emerge in American politics. This led to the passage of such laws as the Sheppard–Towner Act of 1921, which expanded maternity care during the 1920s. However, a women's bloc did not emerge in American politics until the 1950s.

Famous quotes containing the word effects:

    “If one judges love according to the greatest part of the effects it produces, it would appear to resemble rather hatred than kindness.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “Virtues are not emotions. Emotions are movements of appetite, virtues dispositions of appetite towards movement. Moreover emotions can be good or bad, reasonable or unreasonable; whereas virtues dispose us only to good. Emotions arise in the appetite and are brought into conformity with reason; virtues are effects of reason achieving themselves in reasonable movements of the appetites. Balanced emotions are virtue’s effect, not its substance.”
    —Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)

    “The best road to correct reasoning is by physical science; the way to trace effects to causes is through physical science; the only corrective, therefore, of superstition is physical science.”
    —Frances Wright (1795–1852)
