On Women’s Right to Vote by Susan B. Anthony (excerpt) Friends and fellow citizens: I stand before you tonight under indictment for the alleged crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote. It shall be my work this evening to prove to you that in thus voting, I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny.

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. 5 Select all the correct answers. What two arguments does Susan B. Anthony use to argue that women are entitled to vote?

She states that women already have rights, and they need the right to vote in order to protect these rights. She states that if the Constitution can guarantee certain rights to racial and ethnic minorities, then it must give women of all
