How does the following portion of Susan B. Anthony's speech support her argument?
The preamble of the Federal Constitution says:
We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more
perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defense, promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and
our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for
the United States of America.
It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor
we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed
the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of
liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and
the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women
as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to
women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while
they are denied the use of the only means of securing them
provided by this democratic-republican government - the
ballot.
O A. It proves that all citizens of the U. S. are given the same rights.
OB. It shows Anthony should not be allowed to vote.
O c. It shows only male citizens are addressed in the U. S.
Constitution.
D. It shows that most historical documents fail to address
women's rights.
