Question

What is Susan B Anthony's claim in her speech after she was convicted of voting?

Answer 1

After Susan B Anthony was convicted of voting she claimed that she had the right to vote as stated in the Constitution. She uses the 14th Amendment to her advantage. She also claims that the voting people are discriminating against females because of there gender. She claimed that Males and Females should be treated equally.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 1800's government workers interpreted that when the founding father's said We they meant Males. But Susan B Anthony thought this was unjust and unfair. Females couldn't be in politics or jobs that were made for "Men". Instead they had to follow the Gender Rules and stereotypes placed into society. Even though Females still face Injustices in work places or other establishments, we have come a long way. And we still have much more to go in order for Males and Females to be treated equally in society.

I hope this helps!
