What consequences does grimke believe follow from the idea of rights being founded in the individual’s “moral being”?

Answer 1

Grimke explains that is a human being's rights are founded in their 'moral being' then it should follow that sex has no place in determining a difference in rights. Meaning, men and women have the same moral being, and as such, should be afforded the same amount of rights. Grimke believed that this should apply to both rights and responsibilities.
