Which statement from the passage best shows that women did not share the same rights as men? excerpt from History of Woman Suffrage
by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Matilda Joslyn Gage

Under the influence of these principles of republicanism that extends to all classes of American minds, they might state that woman readily perceives the position she occupies in a republic. It is a position where the government and religion alike are based on individual conscience and judgment—where the natural rights of all citizens have been discussed, and repeatedly declared equal.
From the inauguration of the government, women have expressed their disapproval of the inconsistencies between the nation's principles and practices. Beginning with special grievances, woman's protests soon took a larger scope. Woman had already petitioned State legislatures to change the statutes that robbed her of children, wages, and property. She then demanded that the Constitutions—both State and National—be amended as to give her a voice. She asked for a voice in the laws, a choice in the rulers, and protection in the exercise of her rights as a citizen of the United States.
