C. They thought a ban on discrimination against women should be included in the amendment.

Explanation:

The 14th Amendment granted American citizenship to all people born or naturalized in the USA, including ex-slaves. This allowed ex-slaves to be considered citizens and to have the right to vote. This infuriated the women involved in the suffragette movement, as women were not considered in this amendment and therefore were not considerate citizens, neither white nor black, which prevented them from voting and made them not only submissive to white men but also to blacks.

Answer from: Quest

no,

explanation:

because they are likely to use their corrupted thought process to get what they want. not what is better for the another reason they shouldn't is since they abused their rights as a us citizen they should have certain rights stripped away from them as punishment, such as the right to vote. due to the lack of proper behavior exemplified from their actions , it would be hard for people to trust them because of their criminal record. either directly (in the case of a referendum or ballot initiative) or indirectly (by choosing lawmakers and law enforcers). in fact, we do have certain minimum, objective standards of responsibility and commitment to our laws that we require people to meet before they are given a role in the solemn enterprise of self-government. people who have committed serious crimes against their fellow citizens don’t meet those standards. and those crimes can include such “non-violent felonies” as, say, treason and espionage, or voter fraud and public corruption, white-collar crime and felonies merely “concerning drugs” — like trafficking in fentanyl-laced heroin and selling it to minors, for example. if you’re not willing to follow the law, then you should not have a role in making the law for everyone else.
