1770 All men are created equal – no kings, no aristocracy…

- - - 1787 ........Oh, yeah, and non-whites are equal…to three-fifths of whites.
........ Yeah, and man means MAN…GROWN man!
......... And the people who live in that new capital district don’t get no say whatsoever.

1820 OK, non-white men are EQUAL! But we didn’t say they could VOTE!

1870 ALL RIGHT! Non-white men can VOTE, then! But nobody said WOMEN could!

1920 All RIGHT, ALREADY! Women can VOTE! But MEN means GROWN men. Over 21!

1970 Sheesh! A man’s a man at 18, then! Girls, too! But not those weirdos who live in DC!

2020 …????...
