Which of the following explains the legislative events leading up to the actual vote on the amendment by the Tennessee House on August 18, 1920?

A  The state house of representatives had already voted twice against approving the amendment, but the senate called for a new vote.

B  Tennessee was something of a “swing state” in regard to the amendment because the state senate was strongly in favor of approving it, while the house of representatives was opposed.

C  The state senate had approved the amendment, and the house of representatives was tied on the vote to table it, so the speaker of the house called for a vote on the amendment itself.

D  The 19th Amendment was already ratified and added to the U.S. Constitution, but on the state level, Tennessee had yet to approve it.
