<<< "womens [sic] right to vote" was the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. >>> You are of course correct. I was referring to the original document. The document that the framers of the Constitution signed. Nothing can be added, modified, deleted, or changed to the original text. Amendments of course supersede anything to the contrary that came before the amendment. So, for example, when slavery was abolished with the 13th Amendment (adopted approximately 65 years later), all provisions of the Constitution that dealt with slavery became moot. There are no official "abridged" versions of the Constitution created after an amendment has been adopted.
