Who can vote, and why children cannot, sentence 2

The rules have changed before: your great-great-gran may not have been allowed to vote just because she was a woman, until campaigners called suffragettes and suffragists won that right.

Who acts: rules, great great gran, year old, campaigners · What happens: change, not allow, vote, be, call, win · To what, where: great great gran, woman, suffragettes, right · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Who can vote, and why children cannot» of the politics course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (rules, great great gran, year old, campaigners), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
