1 point
(A) "I long to hear that you have declared an independency. And, by the way, in the new code
of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would
remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors."
(B) "Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember, all men
would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we
are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in
which we have no voice or
representation."
