| | The Defense of Suffrage Act |
| | Suffrage has, since time immemorial, meant in common usage and legally the "right of a man to vote." That women's right advocates must use the phrase "woman's suffrage" to clarify their meaning simply reinforces this point. | | | Former U.S. Representative Barry Robertson, R-Smyrna, was chief sponsor of the "Defense of Suffrage Act," which allows states to refuse to recognize the right of women to vote granted elsewhere. | | | 'In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word 'suffrage' means only a legal voting right of a man, and the word 'voter' refers only to a male person who has the right to vote.'. |

| | Research Starters: Suffrage |
| | Suffrage may be considered a right, a privilege, or a duty. | | | And at the time the Constitution was written, not only was suffrage restricted to white males, but it was further limited by religious, property, and taxpaying qualifications. | | | A final extension of suffrage took place in 1971 when the Twenty-Sixth Amendment lowered the voting age from 21 to 18. |

| | And all that without suffrage, without the right to make laws, without the "privilege" of becoming a judge, a jailer, or an executioner. | | | Woman's demand for equal suffrage is based largely on the contention that woman must have the equal right in all affairs of society. | | | The reward that he receives is stringent labor laws prohibiting the right of boycott, of picketing, in fact, of everything, except the right to be robbed of the fruits of his labor. |

| | Woman Suffrage in Colorado, 1877-1893, Introduction |
| | The suffrage bill that eventually became law in 1893 was written according to this provision (see documents 13 and 26). | | | In the end, Republicans divided over woman suffrage (see documents 13 and 23), and it was the Populists who provided a forum for suffragists within their ranks (see document 11), introduced the 1893 suffrage bill in the Colorado legislature (see document 13), and proclaimed it law (see document 26). | | | National suffrage leader Henry Blackwell pinpointed the lack of party support in the 1877 referendum campaign as the main reason for failure that year (see document 7). |

| | The suffrage requirements of the frontier states were more democratic than eastern ones. | | | Beginning with Kentucky in 1792, all but two western states embraced white male adult suffrage; in the East, all but two states retained either a property or taxpaying qualification for all or part of the period from 1820 to 1860. | | | In colonial America property qualifications limited the right to vote, whereas suffrage today is open to all citizens at the age of eighteen. |

| | Chairman, it is evident from the statements made by the gentleman from Illinois that the main purpose of his amendment is to test the sentiment and conviction of this House on the issue of woman suffrage. | | | Chairman, I am sincerely in hope that the amendment will be voted upon, not from the standpoint of the people of the United States, but in conformity with the preference of the Filipino women. | | | If you apply them to the amendment now before the committee, you will conclude that you should vote down the amendment even if you were in favor of woman suffrage for the United States. |

| | In those States of the American Union which approach nearest to a practical manhood suffrage, unnaturalized foreigners, minors, and certain classes of criminals, are excluded from voting. | | | The right of suffrage is, therefore, most clearly not an absolutely inalienable right universal in its application. | | | But in that case you must give up your womanly daughters--you must be content with manly daughters. |
