Explanation:

Question 18

The Nineteenth Amendment grants women the right to vote by prohibiting the denial of voting rights based on sex. Expanding the right to vote to a previously excluded group (women) is an expansion of democracy. Option B is incorrect as the amendment relates to voting rights, not executive power. Option C is incorrect as it's about federal voting rights, not state authority. Option D is incorrect as it's a constitutional amendment, not judicial control.

The Articles of Confederation created a weak national government with most power held by states. The Constitution was created to give the national government more power to effectively govern (e.g., tax, regulate commerce). Option A is incorrect as the US sought to avoid a king. Option C is incorrect as states didn't want to end elections. Option D is incorrect as citizens supported democracy, but wanted a more effective government.

Answer:

A. Expanded democracy
