Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Bradwell v. Illinois, the Supreme Court held that states had the right to exclude married women from practicing law. This decision was based on the idea that women's primary duties were domestic and that they were not fit for the legal profession. The decision was later overturned by the 19th Amendment and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
