Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Process of elimination. We know it wasn't held in New Your City, so we can cross two answers out. We also know that the convention was earlier than 1971, so we have one answer left, and that is Seneca Falls, New York in 1848.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. The first women's rights convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Seneca Falls Convention, held on July 19 and 20, 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York, was the first convention for the rights of women to take place on United States soil. It gathered together around two hundred people, including Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia C. Mott, two outstanding figures in the American feminist movement, and several representatives of the abolitionist movement such as the speaker Frederick Douglass. There were a total of thirty-two men present. It ended with the signing of the "Declaration of Sentiments", considered the founding act of the American feminist movement.
