-there is a wave of revulsion across the nation against this
-even in states already with women's suffrage, women are reluctant because they already have it and suffrage orgs already dissolved
-and that the portion passed with a bare majority means it's hardly a vote of confidence
-but with presidential elections decided by raw numbers, women important and doubles states' strength in them
-and Justice Party does not want to alienate women
-eventually, after a tough struggle, it is passed in 1892
-and this results in Constitution of the United States (1885) coming into law
