It means that every adult, male and female, in the United States has the right to vote.
Congress has the right to enforce this right if anyone is denied the right to vote illegally by enacting laws to make it so.

The first sentence means that neither male or female shall be denied the right to vote just because of their sex. The second sentence means that Congress has the power to enforce this.

I believe this means you can not be denied the right to vote based on your gender.
This is a federal law that congress has the right to protect the people with.

It means that women can vote. There was a time in the not too distant past that women did not have the right to vote in the US.
This ended that problem.

It basically says both men and women can vote. This is called "suffrage".
From WordNet: a legal right guaranteed by the 15th amendment to the US Constitution; guaranteed to women by the 19th amendment; "American women got the vote in 1920" [syn: right to vote]

Voting and having sex are the same thing; in both instances you end up getting screwed.
