Glasser's choice theory. The term choice theory is the work of William Glasser, MD, author of the book so named, and is the culmination of some 50 years of theory and practice in psychology and counselling.
Unlike winning the right to vote through legislative action--as happened in the territories of Wyoming in 1869 and Utah in 1870--Colorado suffragists needed the support of male voters to secure the franchise.1] The victory that western women were wild with joy over made Colorado the first state to enfranchise women through popular referendum, and it happened over a quarter of a century before the achievement of national women s suffrage in 1920.
It took sixteen years, four Colorado votes, three suggested state constitutions, and many attempts in Congress, for Colorado to FINALLY become the 38th state on Aug. 1, 1876, following a proclamation by President Ulysses S. Grant.The census figures for 1880 are hard to believe. They showed 194,000 residents of Colorado.) On July 1 of 1876, the combination of Congress, President and Colorado voters were joined as Colorado voted 15,443 to 4,062 to become the 38th state.
