MISCELLANIA
Wilson showed the same strength of leader-
ship in war time as he did previously when
the nation was at peace. Three important
amendments to the Constitution were pro-
claimed during this administration - the
17th, providing for the direct election of
senators by the people instead of by the state
legislature; the 18th, proclaiming prohibi-
tion, and the 19th, in 1920, giving women
the right to vote.
Wilson was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
in 1921 for his efforts in seeking a just peace
and for his efforts in establishing the League
of Nations.
