NAWSA, or the National American Woman Suffrage Association, was a nationwide organization devoted to securing equal What_is_the_difference_between_the_congressional_union_and_the_nawsarights for women. The Congressional Union was formed within NAWSA to pursue a federal amendment to the US Constitution in December 1912. Alice Paul and Lucy Burns asked to be appointed co-chairs of this DC based Union. At the time NAWSA believed that voting rights would only be secured one state at a time so, although Paul/Burns and the CU were run under thir auspices until 1916, the larger organization gave almost no funding and even less faith to the CU and its mission. This lead to the formation by Paul of her own political party (the National Woman's Party) in 1916.
