Respuesta :
For women to be able to vote like men are able to. Since male citizens made laws to benefit themselves, Susan B. Anthony reasoned that the Constitution was made for all citizens.
The correct answer is C) Women are judged under laws supposedly written only for males, so they are entitled to the same rights as males.
The argument that Susan B. Anthony is making in the passage is "Women are judged under laws supposedly written only for males, so they are entitled to the same rights as males.
Suzan B. Anthony, leader of the women's suffrage movement, expressed the following words to support her point: "But is urged, the use of the masculine pronouns he, his and him, in all the constitutions and laws, is proof that only men were meant to be included in their provisions. If you insist on this version of the letter of the law, we shall insist that you be consistent, and accept the other horn of the dilemma, which would compel you to exempt women from taxation for the support of the government, and from penalties for the violation of laws.
. . . The same is true of all the criminal laws: "No person shall be compelled to be a witness against himself."
The other options of the question were A) Male citizens created the laws to secure the rights of men, so legal reform is required to secure women’s rights. B) Women are often punished for committing criminal acts that are pardoned when committed by men. D) The court judge modified the original documents to arrest and try Anthony unfairly.
