Representation of the People Act

During World War I, both organizations refrained from campaigning for suffrage and actively cooperated with the war effort.

In the United States, some states granted women the right to vote during the colonial period, but after independence in 1787, women's suffrage became a topic of debate at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. As a result, the federal constitution did not include women's suffrage, and voting qualifications were left to the discretion of each state, so that the right to vote was limited to white men.
