question 4 / 5
i live in washington, d.c. just down the street from the white house. the year is 1955. i am a 35 - year - old woman with two children. can i vote?
a. yes
b. no

Explanation:

In 1955, residents of Washington, D.C. did not have the right to vote in presidential elections (and other federal elections in a full - fledged way as states did). The 23rd Amendment, which gave D.C. residents the right to vote in presidential elections, was ratified later (1961). Also, for voting eligibility, while the woman is 35 (old enough for many voting requirements), the D.C. residency and the time period (1955) mean she couldn't vote in the relevant federal elections.

Answer:

B. No
