Final answer:

Susan B. Anthony used the preamble of the Constitution and the 14th Amendment to argue for women's rights, including the right to vote, not the 19th Amendment which was ratified after her death.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotation in question likely refers to Susan B. Anthony, a prominent women's rights activist who lived before the passage of the 19th Amendment.

Anthony was known for using the preamble to the Constitution to argue for women's right to vote, among other things. The preamble states the goals of the Constitution and through it, Anthony argued that the Constitution's promise of 'justice' and 'liberty' applied to women as well.

However, she also made arguments based on the privileges and immunities clause of the 14th Amendment. The 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, was not passed until 1920, long after Anthony's death. Therefore, when discussing how the Constitution does Anthony quote to support her point of view, it would not be the 19th Amendment.
