AP US Government
Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.11
How did governmental responses differ between Women's Suffrage movement in early 20th century and LGBTQ+ rights movement at turn of 21st century?
Both were primarily resolved with state laws rather than federal intervention or courts' decisions.
The Women's Suffrage movement resulted in a constitutional amendment granting voting rights while LGBTQ+ rights have been expanded chiefly through court decisions.
Both movements led directly to constitutional amendments safeguarding their respective rights.
Neither movement achieved any major legislative or judicial victories for their causes.
