Not until 1920 did the Constitution give women the right to vote. Later, another change lowered the voting age for Americans from 21 to 18.
Our programs explain the thinking behind these and other rights. They also tell the story of each presidential election and presidency in American history.美国独立战争的领导人们做出了重要的改变，他们规定，凡是自由人都可以参加公职的选举，而且凡是拥有土地并且纳税的自由人都享有权投票。
但直到二十世纪二十年代，宪法才赋予妇女投票权。晚些时候，另一项修正案又把美国投票的法定年龄从21岁降低到了18岁。
我们的节目解释了这些权利背后的想法。同时，还诉说了美国历史上每一届总统选举以及总统们自己的故事。
