What is Susan B Anthony’s purpose in speech after being convicted of voting

The purpose of this speech is to prove that women are citizens, and should be granted the right to vote. The purpose is also that Susan B. Anthony did not commit a crime by voting, because she was exercising her citizen's rights

Explanation:

This Speech After Being Convicted, written by Susan B. Anthony and delivered between the years of 1872-1873 is literally the call from the female author, Susan, to reflect on the reason why women being convicted for requesting the right to vote is totally against the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution established by the Founding Fathers of the United States. In it, Anthony not only reminds her readers about the bases on which the whole independence movement originated, but she also cites the reasons for which states and governments were created. Her main argument is that before anything else, humans, men and women alike, enjoyed natural rights, among which were equality regardless of aspects like race or gender. She also cites religious reasons that support women´s right to voting and not be juditialized for trying to exercise that right. Finally, she reminds her readers that the Founding Fathers, and in general all governments and states, were born from the desire of these men and women to gather and create organizations, instead of fighting on their own for survival and thus they established laws that ensured, and not allienated, their natural rights. This is why the answer is D, because Anthony is reminding her readers that she, and all women, as citizens with natural rights, have the same level as men and thus should not be penalized for voting.

Explanation:

Another: Her speech was entitled "Is it a Crime for a U.S. Citizen to Vote?" She said the Fourteenth Amendment gave her that right, proclaiming, "We no longer petition Legislature or Congress to give us the right to vote. We appeal to women everywhere to exercise their too long neglected 'citizen's right to vote'".

"a" because he is appealing to logic as oppose to appealing to the audience's emotions.
